Base Notes
Ambergris · Amberwood
The top notes arrive as a vibrant burst of grapefruit and yuzu, lifted by pink pepper and the delicate green whisper of violet leaf. These bright accords create an immediate sense of freshness and refinement, pulling you into the fragrance with quiet confidence.
As the fragrance settles, sea notes and woody accords emerge alongside a deeper violet heart. Palisander rosewood adds structure and elegance, transforming the composition into something more substantial—a woody aquatic that breathes sophistication without demanding attention from everyone in the room.
The base reveals ambergris and amberwood, grounding the fragrance in warmth and depth. What remains is an intimate skin-close trail that lingers for 6–8 hours, perfect for warm seasons and equally wearable year-round. At its best in spring and summer, this cologne feels equally at home in fall.
