Grapefruit Lavender Sage

Grapefruit Lavender Sage is a crisp, aromatic citrus and herb fragrance, described by its maker as sunlight, open air and the clarity of being outdoors. It opens on grapefruit, a bright, slightly bitter citrus, with bergamot, lemon and orange and a cooling touch of eucalyptus. Lavender leads the heart and softens the move away from the citrus, while sage adds a dry, herbal structure that keeps the composition polished. Violet, jasmine and geranium give the heart a gentle floral cushion, and cardamom adds a little spice. The base is woods, amber, moss and musk, soft and clean rather than heavy, so the freshness carries through instead of fading. Grapefruit is the clear lead, and lavender follows it in the heart, with sage as the dry, grounding thread. Next to Thyme & Mandarin Fig, which is fruit and green, this one is drier and more herbal. The house lists it under both its fragrances for her and for him, and recommends it for daytime, warm seasons and moments that call for mental clarity. It is made as an extrait, so a long wear is likely, though the house stresses presence over strength. There are no customer reviews on the product page yet, so the way it wears here follows the maker's description of its structure rather than reports from wearers.
