Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office

About

STR8 Original Eau de Toilette opens with a bright burst of tangerine and cooling water mint, instantly setting a fresh and invigorating tone. Cedar leaf adds a green, slightly herbal edge, while the heart transitions smoothly to creamy sandalwood and a pinch of cinnamon warmth. Vetiver and iris in the base give the drydown a clean, woody earthiness touched with a faint powderiness. Synthetic nuances weave throughout, lending an accessible, modern feel. The result is a versatile, clean, and subtly masculine fragrance that never overwhelms but keeps you feeling put-together all day.
