XS

MasculineBy Gerard Anthony and Rosendo MateuRated 4.1/5 · 2,321 reviews

bergamot · mint · rosemary

XS opens on bergamot, mint and lemon, a clean green freshness. A heart of sage and bourbon geranium, softened by rosewood, keeps an aromatic breath. The base of sandalwood, cedar and patchouli stays woody and understated. Wear it in late spring, when the air warms without weighing on you.
