About

Opens with a brisk, cool hit of mint and sparkling bergamot, softened by a touch of aromatic star anise. The heart introduces a refined floral blend of lavender and geranium, grounded by earthy patchouli. It settles into a warm, distinguished base of guaiac wood and vetiver, evoking the comforting, clean scent of a high-end shaving cream with a brighter, fresher edge.
