ENDYMION

The bergamot opens bright and clean, but it’s the coffee-suede dry-down that keeps pulling me back for another sniff. Lasts a solid afternoon on my skin, and the geranium gives it a fresh edge that feels classy without trying too hard.

The suede is what gets me—it’s soft and warm, sitting under that bergamot sparkle like a cozy second skin. Coffee and geranium peek through an hour later, and I keep sniffing my wrist like a fool. This cologne makes me feel like I’ve got a secret, and I’m honestly upset it’s almost empty.

The bergamot opening is bright and clean, but the suede and coffee come through nicely on the dry-down—very smooth and masculine. It lasts about five hours on my skin, which is fine for a cologne. Just wish the geranium lingered a bit longer.
