Composition of the fragrance
First, you’ll notice a sharp dose of freshness provided by the combination of bergamot and ginger. It is then contrasted with the juicy note of apple accompanied by aldehydes and elemi balsam. The heart will captivate you with its notes of sage and juniper joined by lavender to create a distinctly masculine scent, enhanced by geranium absolute. The sensual drydown of the fragrance combines vetiver, amber wood, frankincense and tonka bean.
