In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

1020 opens with a brisk mix of ginger, pepper, mint and citrus, then settles into a dry woody heart with resinous warmth underneath. It reads aromatic, spicy and earthy rather than sweet. This is likely to suit someone who likes textured woods, vetiver and patchouli with a sharper edge. The profile looks most at home …

Reviews →

Loaded by Strellson opens with a cool burst of bergamot, black pepper, and elemi resin. The heart shifts toward aromatic lavender and warm myrrh, while a clean base of vetiver, musk, and amber keeps the dry-down grounded. It wears comfortably during cool spring mornings or quiet workday settings.
