A vintage chypre relocated to a tropical forest.
Kaffir lime and basil start it green and sharp, jasmine and ylang carry a spiced floral heart, and oakmoss, sandalwood, benzoin, soft leather and civet build the old style base.
Perfumed by: Manuel Cross
KSI Take: Built as an answer to Coty's Chypre, with an oakmoss load no mainstream house would sign off on today. The civet is real and the drydown turns animalic, so this is not an office scent.
