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.
Y
The contrast of a sharp green apple over a base of tonka bean and amber. A modern aromatic, made for every day.
