About

Lumination kicks off with a zesty burst of bergamot, like a splash of sharp citrus on a hot day. The freshness then deepens with oceanic notes, evoking salty sea air, before patchouli provides an earthy, green anchor. The dry down is a classic, masculine blend of smooth oakmoss and warm amber, cushioned by a soft, enveloping musk. It's clean, robust, and effortlessly sophisticated.
