About the Fragrance

Fresh lavender, clary sage and bergamot open against the rich character of Brazilian rosewood. Rose, geranium, jasmine and lily-of-the-valley soften the heart before patchouli, cedar and sandalwood settle into a warm base with a gentle touch of vanilla.

Imagine reaching for it on a cooler evening: the crisp aromatic opening gives way to smooth florals and dark, creamy woods, lending a classic, masculine finish to the night.
