24K opens with an unconventional burst of crisp carrot, tart guava, and brisk green tea leaf. You get a bitter, crunchy vegetable opening that feels unexpectedly refreshing under bright sunlight. As the top notes settle, spicy ginger and aromatic shiso leaves cut through sweet undertones of apricot and mango. The dry down turns distinctly green and earthy as priprioca, dark patchouli, and rooty vetiver take over on skin. Warm olibanum and star anise add a subtle resinous edge during warm spring afternoons. This fragrance suits adventurous fragrance lovers who prefer botanical, raw green scents over standard commercial citrus formulas. Show less
