About

Shades opens with a bright burst of violet leaf, pineapple, and plum, quickly joined by crisp bergamot and a hint of cardamom. The heart settles into a sophisticated blend of cedar and rosemary, lending an aromatic, woody backbone. The dry down is a smooth affair of sandalwood, patchouli, and a touch of ambergris, grounding the initial freshness with a warm, masculine depth.
