Emerald Shine combines citrus freshness with a distinctly green and spicy effect. Bergamot, grapefruit, and mandarin provide brightness, but are quickly complemented by juniper, cardamom, saffron, and frankincense.
It is the juniper in particular that shapes the aromatic freshness of the fragrance. Frankincense and saffron add a dry and slightly resinous warmth without letting Emerald Shine become sweet. This subtle sweetness is one of the composition's notable characteristics.
The base is distinctly woody. Vetiver, cedar, guaiac wood, and oud meet patchouli and cypriol. Leather, amber, and musk complement the fragrance profile and give it more depth.
As a result, Emerald Shine comes across as green, spicy, and dry. The citrus fruits provide freshness, but its true character is derived from juniper, frankincense, leather, and various woods. Those who tend to avoid sweet woody compositions will find a significantly drier interpretation here.
