About

Opens with a sharp, zesty burst of ginger, bergamot, and lemon, an invigorating prelude that quickly makes way for a complex, aromatic heart. Labdanum, clary sage, and a touch of camphorous hyssop weave a tapestry of herbal earthiness, conjuring images of untamed British woodlands. The dry down introduces a sophisticated leather accord, grounded by vetiver's dry woodiness and a subtle, warm amber finish. It's green in a proper, earthy way, not some synthetic spa affair.
