Shared character
Both fragrances are anchored by the same woody notes (bergamot, cedarwood, vetiver, amber, incense/olibanum, petitgrain) and present a clear woody accord.
How they differ
Original and Realist share a woody backbone built from bergamot, cedarwood, vetiver, amber, incense/olibanum and petitgrain. Original adds clary sage and is framed by an ambery (oriental) accord, giving it a more herbal‑oriental character. Realist departs with a brighter, fresher palette – lemon, yuzu, rose, pepper, everlasting flower, marine and ozonic notes – and is defined by a watery accord, positioning it toward a crisp‑aquatic style.
Who each suits
Original suits wearers who favor aromatic‑herbal, warm oriental scents and prefer a more grounded, ambery profile. Realist suits those who like fresh, citrus‑marine compositions with a watery feel, ideal for casual or sporty settings.
