Homme de Gres
basil · lemon · bergamot
Opening on a breath of lemon and bergamot, lifted by basil and petitgrain, Homme settles into spring like a walk in the sun. A heart of neroli and jasmine, softened by peach and benzoin, takes on the warmth of the day. In the base, oakmoss, sandalwood and amber leave a woody, discreet trail. Wear it in autumn, when the air cools.
