Bright citrus—bergamot, grapefruit, mandarin—opens with a sharp, clean sting, immediately rounded by green herbal snap. Artemisia and basil arrive as the sweetness fades, bringing a peppery bite that sits cool against skin. As the heart settles, oakmoss and vetiver emerge, earthy and slightly smoky, grounded further by dry cedar that lingers like dried wood in a sun-warmed room. The citrus dissolves entirely, leaving only the mineral green of moss and the soft rasp of cedar on the drydown.
