Bergamot, neroli and green tangerine

Marine notes, rosemary and persimmon
The marine impression meets herbal rosemary and persimmon. An aquatic accord describes a scent, not literal seawater in the formula.
Cedarwood and Indonesian patchouli
Cedarwood is a key note and Indonesian patchouli appears in the description, adding woody earthiness to the fresh profile.
