All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is the scent of close air and clean surfaces: a bright, herbal aura that suits a composed, understated presence. It feels most natural in moments when you want freshness to read as polished rather than sporty, with tea and basil giving the impression of calm alertness.
How to wear
Best in mild to warm weather, when its green citrus-aromatic structure can stay crisp without turning sharp. A light to moderate application is enough; on skin it opens brisk and leafy, then softens into tea and musk with a cool, airy trail.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like green aromatics, tea scents and a fresh, slightly tart profile. It will appeal to those who prefer clarity over sweetness, herbal lift over florals, and a clean, modern fragrance with a natural, unforced feel.
