A man stands on the edge of a rocky cliff at sunset, and the wind carries the scent of warm wood and dry earth. He needs no words to be understood; his calm presence alone is enough to fill the space. This fragrance paints that image with clear, bold strokes, free from excessive embellishment. It possesses depth, a hint of smokiness, and a solidity reminiscent of ancient tree trunks. It evokes a sense of steadfastness and inner strength, as if you know exactly who you are and where you’re headed. It’s a fragrance like the confident silence that precedes a major decision—calm on the surface and profound within.
This is a men’s fragrance from the woody family, in a parfum concentration that gives it greater intensity and richness. Its character is calm and confident, leaning more toward warmth and depth than freshness. It is suitable for work, evening outings, and formal occasions, and is perfect for the man who appreciates understated elegance. It shines in the fall and winter, and remains appropriate for mild spring evenings. Its sillage is moderate to strong, and it has long-lasting staying power that lasts most of the day.
Top Notes
The fragrance opens with cypriol oil, an aromatic root with a smoky, earthy, woody character. This opening imparts a sense of depth from the very first moment, a far cry from the usual citrusy openings. You can feel the scents of earth and wood rising gently and confidently. It’s a dry, clean opening that signals from the very first spritz that this fragrance isn’t seeking sweetness, but rather strength.
The Heart of the Fragrance
At the heart, amyris wood emerges with its warm softness and subtle resinous note. Amyris softens the sharpness of cypriol and lends the composition a comforting smoothness. Here, the fragrance becomes warmer and closer to the skin, while retaining its distinct woody character. This seamless transition gives the composition a balance that makes it comfortable to wear for hours on end without losing its masculine edge.
Base Note
The base note rests on a trio of cedarwood oils, which are the signature and backbone of this fragrance. Cedarwood imparts a solid, enduring quality and an elegant dryness reminiscent of vast forests. This clean, woody scent lingers on clothing for hours. As time passes, the cedar draws closer to the skin, leaving a warm, calm aura reminiscent of the scent of polished wood.
Who is this fragrance for?
This fragrance is for the man who loves clean woody notes and a strong presence without being overpowering. It’s perfect for the office during the day, dinner, and evening events—especially on cold days. Spray it on the neck, chest, and wrists—since the perfume is concentrated, you don’t need many sprays. It makes an elegant gift for a father, brother, or husband, and the bottle is refillable.
