Speed Legends
The aromatic spine runs on clary sage and blackcurrant, with not one floral note from top to base. Citrus and pink pepper open green and tart; vetiver and tonka frame it without sweetening.
Explorer
Bergamot, vetiver then patchouli follow one green, earthy line, tightened by ambroxan and akigalawood. Leather is only a dry texture here: a straightforward aromatic wood with a long trail.
