About

Friction for Him kicks off with a bright, juicy hit of mandarin and green fruits, quickly joined by the clean sharpness of lavender and a marine breeze. As it settles, you'll pick up warm hints of rum and cardamom, mellowed by a creamy coconut note. The drydown reveals a masculine base of patchouli, soft leather, and amber, all wrapped in a clean musk.
