Killing Fresh

The game revolves around tart, bitter citrus notes. Firstly, there is the Japanese yuzu with its typical special note, then the grapefruit, which for me is also more in the tart citrus category, hardly sweet, more of a bitter spiciness. Then the bergamot, the bitter, tart citrus plant par excellence. All three have none of the typical sweet citrus notes that we all know. The citrus trio is accompanied by a blackcurrant, which brings a particularly subtle fruity play to the top note. Then comes the spice of cardamom, a spice that I love very much, and the soft but also citrus type of verbena. Just think of the verbena teas. This is accompanied by notes of green tea, here too a tart freshness that brings out the grassiness of the tea to its best advantage. The base is then carried by musk and oak moss and a duet with benzoin and ambergris. For me, the scent has an intense, tart freshness without being fruity, but also without drifting too much into the chypre direction.
