About

It opens with a lively burst of pineapple, melon, and green apple, underpinned by refreshing citrus. The heart introduces a marine accord, with delicate jasmine and neroli, spiced by cardamom. The dry down is a blend of smooth suede, earthy vetiver, musk, cedar, and warm amber, adding a modern masculine edge to its fruity-fresh core.
