ENDYMION

The bergamot opening is bright but the dry-down into geranium and coffee is where it truly shines—lasted through a full workday on my collar. Wore it to a dinner party and got three compliments from strangers, which never happens to me.

The suede and coffee notes settle into something warm and quietly commanding, like a tailored jacket you never want to take off. It lasts through a full workday on my skin, and the geranium keeps it from feeling heavy. This is the kind of scent that makes you stand a little taller.

The bergamot hits bright at first, then that coffee-and-suede warmth settles in like a well-worn jacket. I've worn it three days straight and the dry-down keeps surprising me with how smooth the geranium gets. Feels like a cologne that knows exactly who it's for.
