Lavender and bergamot open the scents here, giving way to a base of sandalwood and musk. The compositions are built on woody and aromatic accords, with fresh spicy notes running throughout. Citrus and warm spicy elements turn up alongside these core structures. The materials create a profile that feels grounded and dry rather than sweet or lush.
Wearing a fragrance from this house tends to feel clean and composed. The presence of lavender and sandalwood establishes a traditional masculine character, while the bergamot and musk keep the finish light. The scent sits close to the skin, offering a subtle presence that relies on aromatic herbs and smooth wood. Premium Blend is one example of this style.
