Gentleman No. 2

Blood mandarin snaps open with a mineral briskness, salt and aldehydes cutting sharp against citrus zest, black pepper adding dark heat. White cedar and neroli ease in next, softening the bite into something woody and floral-green. The base unfolds slowly—amber and tonka bean warm the skin while white musk diffuses into a creamy, skin-scent softness, elemi's resinous whisper and vanilla's gentle sweetness threading through until only warm tonka and pale musk remain.
