Tribeca

Green hazelnut and cacao absolute on top; jasmine sambac and cedarwood through the heart; ambroxan, caramel, and moss in the base.

A modern gourmand done with restraint. Green hazelnut and cacao absolute in the opening, but the composition refuses to settle into dessert. Jasmine sambac and cedarwood push it sideways into something woody and slightly floral. Ambroxan, caramel, and moss carry it to a dry, polished finish. Worn at night, in cooler weather, for the version of an evening that is fashionable without being fussy. A bottle that proves a gourmand can read as adult.
