North Stag IV Quatre

The Scent Profile

North Stag IV Quatre bursts forth with a vibrant, almost effervescent citrus accord – candied orange peel mingling with a sharp, sweet lemon drop note. The citron adds a zesty edge, not unlike biting into a lime wedge. Its heart introduces a curious blend; the apricot leans toward a syrupy sweetness, while the basil provides an herbaceous undercurrent that keeps it grounded. I detect a subtle earthiness from the carrot seeds, reminiscent of damp soil after a light rain. As it settles, the date note emerges, lending a sticky, caramel-like depth, while the fig introduces a milky, green freshness. The ambrette provides a powdery, musky finish. It veers off from its muse with a distinct, lingering sweetness that borders on cloying in warmer weather.

Longevity & Projection

I observed a longevity of about 5-6 hours on my skin. The projection is initially quite strong, easily extending beyond an arm's length for the first hour, before settling closer to the skin. I tested it during a day of errands and light outdoor activity; it performed adequately but became slightly overwhelming when perspiring.

Is it Worth It?

This fragrance is for the individual who embraces leisure and radiates a carefree spirit. Picture them in linen clothing, sipping iced tea on a sun-drenched patio, perhaps sketching in a notebook or lost in a captivating novel. They exude an easy-going charm and possess a penchant for simple pleasures. This scent harmonizes best with those who carry an air of effortless elegance and enjoy the laid-back rhythms of life.
