A pine forest after sunrise, cool air carrying the scent of crushed leaves and damp grass: this is where the fragrance begins. Its freshness is green and sharp, like the energy of someone who wakes up early with a whole day ahead of them. It’s not a fragrance that tries to impress anyone, but rather a scent of energy, movement, and quiet confidence. It has a touch of ’90s simplicity, when fragrances were made to be worn, not discussed. A 1990s icon that still retains its youthful vitality just as it was. Its scent alone is enough to remind you that a fresh start makes all the difference in your day.
It is a purely masculine fragrance. It belongs to the aromatic fougère family, with its fresh, green character. Its character is youthful, vibrant, and direct—completely free of heaviness or sweetness. It’s perfect for everyday use, work, sports, and spring and summer settings, and its large size makes it an economical everyday fragrance. It’s one of those fragrances that doesn’t require a special occasion—it just needs a day full of activity. It has moderate longevity and a fresh, lively sillage that fills the immediate space without bothering anyone.
Top Notes
The composition opens with grapefruit and crisp green apple, whose bright tartness immediately captures the attention. Pine needles, thyme, mint, basil, rice leaves, and rum add a sharp, green freshness of rare intensity. There are many notes here, but they are cohesive and do not overwhelm the nose. This rich opening feels more like a walk in the fresh air than a fragrance in a bottle.
The Heart of the Fragrance
The heart notes consist of jasmine, sage, and geranium leaves, woven into a cohesive green-floral composition. Clove, lavender, and cedarwood lend a warm aromatic depth that balances the coolness of the opening. The florals here are subdued and supported by herbs, so the fragrance never feels feminine. Here, the scent settles slightly and reveals its classic fougère structure.
Base Note
The base notes rest on moss and smoked fir balsam, with their earthy, forest-like character. Sandalwood, vetiver, and suede add a soft, woody finish that clings to the skin. The finish is much calmer than the opening but retains the same green character. A clean trail that lingers on the clothes long after the day has ended.
Who is this fragrance for?
For the man who prefers fresh, green fragrances over sweet ones, and wants an invigorating scent to accompany him in the morning, at the gym, and on his outings. Perfect for young men, college students, and anyone who spends more time on the go than sitting still—and for those who want a scent that stands up to the sun, dust, and crowds without becoming overpowering. Spray generously right after showering to let it blend with your skin, and reapply as needed on hot days. It’s a surefire gift for anyone just starting their journey with classic men’s fragrances.
