Description
The story behind this fragrance
A bracing bite of green apple and watermelon opens True Instinct with maritime freshness, before nutmeg and ginger warm the skin with a subtle spice. Geranium softens the edges as oakmoss and leather emerge, grounded by tonka's creamy sweetness and cedar's dry woody spine. The fragrance settles into a leather-tinged dryness shot through with vanilla warmth—fresh and restless, never quite settling.
