A citrus that holds seven hours because birch and patchouli dry it out instead of sweetening it — most citrus scents fade in three. Two or three sprays, projection 6. Spring and summer, and it handles heat better than a standard citrus since the earthy base does not evaporate. Slightly masculine at 60/100. It suits the office, where the earthy finish keeps it from reading as cheap cologne.

Not rated yet — be the firstCalabrian bergamot and cardamom open, maté and violet follow: citrus, spice and flower carry the composition between them. Birch and patchouli work underneath, drying the citrus out rather than sweetening it, so it settles on earthy ground. Violet is its only floral inflection.
