It hits with an immediate tension: bright Italian bergamot and pink peppercorn spiking through tart raspberry. As the fruit recedes, a disciplined core of Virginian cedar and violet leaves creates a bone-dry, powdery spine.

A hint of cold vanilla smooths the edges, keeping the woody projection refined rather than heavy. It sits close enough for the office, yet possesses the distinct, biting complexity needed for evening wind-downs.
