The story
It is primarily a men’s fragrance. Belonging to the woody marine family with an aromatic note, it is a practical choice for anyone looking for a contemporary, masculine scent that isn’t overpowering. Its character is lively and direct, leaning more toward energy than mystery and toward clarity rather than complexity. It’s perfect for daytime wear, work, outings, travel, and long trips between appointments. Spring, summer, and hot climates are its true element, where it remains refreshing even as temperatures rise. It has good longevity and a stronger sillage than the original version, so be sure to use fewer sprays during the peak of the heat.
Top Notes
The fragrance opens with marine notes that give the top notes a refreshing, salty breadth. Pink pepper adds a subtle, rosy-hued spiciness that prevents the opening from feeling monotonous or repetitive. This little spark is what sets the opening apart from similar aquatic fragrances. The first few minutes are bright, clean, and quickly capture the attention.
The Heart of the Fragrance
The heart note reveals the fig tree with its milky, juicy greenness that evokes the leaves more than the fruit. Vetiver supports it with its dry, slightly smoky roots, giving the blend a natural depth that is far from cold. The greenery here is fresh, not sharp, and the roots provide it with solid ground to stand on. Here, the initial freshness transforms into something more masculine and grounded.
Base Note
The finish settles on sandalwood with its soft, creamy texture. Akigalawood joins it to give the base a warm, woody depth that prolongs the fragrance’s longevity on the skin. Together, these two woods transform the initial freshness into a calm warmth unlike the opening notes. The final impression is close to the skin, warm, and comforting.
Who is this fragrance for?
For anyone looking for a refreshing daytime fragrance that stands up to the heat and doesn’t fade after just an hour. Perfect for work, college, daily errands, and long days away from home. Spray it on your chest and neck in the morning, and it will stay with you until the end of the workday; a spritz on your shirt will make the scent last even longer. It’s a practical gift for a man who wears cologne every day, not just for special occasions.
