Grapefruit that refuses to burn off.
Grapefruit, lemon and bergamot open it with pineapple, apple and blackcurrant giving the citrus some flesh. Pink pepper, jasmine, lavender and jade wood hold the middle, and a grapefruit heart sits on cedar, blue cypress, birch, oakmoss and patchouli so the fruit is still legible at the end.
KSI Take: The house pitches this as what Aventus should have been, which sets a bar it does not entirely clear, but the thing it genuinely does better is keep the grapefruit alive into the drydown instead of trading it away for smoke twenty minutes in. At 54 percent it wears dense and close rather than loud. The birch and oakmoss give it a dry, almost dusty finish that will read old fashioned to anyone expecting the usual bright synthetic fruit.
