Layers beautifully with Open Water. The pairing guide →
Citrus scents are universally loved and universally interchangeable. Our quiet signature is a soft Alphonso mango accord — the king of Indian mangoes — folded into the bergamot and neroli. It is barely there, but it gives the brightness a sun-warmed, fruity roundness you won't find in a standard cologne.
The neroli and petitgrain for the bitter-green lift, the mango accord for warmth, a clean musk to carry it. A bright scent with just enough character to be ours.
The summer, daytime, anytime one. Spray generously — citrus is meant to be refreshed. To skin or shirt, before heat or sun or a long day. Universally easy; impossible to dislike.
The arc
How it moves on skin.
Bergamot and mandarin, bright and juicy, with a soft mango sweetness underneath.
Neroli and orange blossom bloom — green, floral, sunlit.
Clean white musk, cedar and a touch of amber: a soft, warm skin-scent that lingers.
