Silver Mountain Water

Mandarin, bergamot, and neroli on top; green tea and blackcurrant through the heart; galbanum, sandalwood, and musk in the base.

Cold air rendered chemically. The opening is metallic and citric — mandarin, bergamot, blackcurrant — but the trick is in the middle, where a green tea and musk accord makes the whole thing feel like sunlight catching on water. One of the rare unisex compositions that doesn't compromise to get there. Projection is civil, performance is moderate, and the impression on the people around you is that you have your life together. Day wear. Warm weather. Quietly enviable.
