No.95

This fragrance leans crisp, aromatic, and quietly rugged clean at first, then gradually deeper and more textured.

Opening (Top Notes):
It starts bright and slightly zesty with mandarin, giving a fresh citrus lift. Juniper berry adds a cool, gin-like sharpness crisp, aromatic, and a bit dry while pepper brings a subtle kick of spice. The opening feels fresh but not lighthearted more refined and brisk than playful.

Heart (Middle Notes):
As it settles, it turns greener and more sophisticated. Mate introduces a dry, tea-like note slightly smoky and herbal. Clary sage adds an aromatic, almost airy freshness with a hint of earthiness. Then iris smooths everything out with a soft, powdery elegance, giving the fragrance a polished, almost velvety feel.

Drydown (Base Notes):
The base is where it becomes more grounded and masculine-leaning. Leather adds a subtle, worn-in richness not too harsh, more like soft suede. Cedarwood provides a clean, dry woodiness, while vetiver brings an earthy, slightly smoky-green depth that lingers.

Overall Impression:
This perfume feels clean, cool, and understatedly confident a blend of citrus, aromatic herbs, soft powder, and dry woods with a touch of leather.

It gives the impression of a tailored outfit with a rugged edge fresh out of the shower, but with depth and character that develops over time. Great for daily wear, especially if you like something refined without being loud.
