Ocean Hills

Ocean Hills opens with a sharp, bracing energy that feels like a cool breeze hitting the coast at dawn. The immediate blast of lime and bergamot provides a tart, citrusy zing, while a prominent hit of mint keeps the profile crisp and cold. Pink pepper adds a subtle, dry sparkle that prevents the citrus from feeling like a kitchen cleaner, leaning instead into a sophisticated, airy freshness. As the fragrance settles, it transitions from pure citrus into a structured, aromatic heart. Lavender and geranium provide a clean, "barbershop" floral quality that feels groomed and professional, while a crisp apple note adds a touch of natural sweetness. The introduction of gaiac wood in the middle layers starts to ground the scent, moving it away from the shoreline and toward the rugged, wooded cliffs implied by its name. The dry down is where the "Hills" truly emerge. It becomes a sturdy woody scent, dominated by the dryness of cedarwood and the earthy, slightly damp texture of moss and patchouli. A smoothed-out leather note adds weight and masculine-leaning grit to the base, ensuring the fragrance lasts well beyond the initial citrus evaporation. Wearing it feels like a transition from a bright, sunny morning into a structured, productive afternoon—reliable, clean, and grounded in nature.
