Signature pair: Clary Sage and Vetiver

In plain words

The main accords of James are aromatic and woody. It opens with Clary Sage and Pink Pepper, reveals Elemi Resin and Violet Leaf at its heart, and dries down to Patchouli and Vetiver. It lasts long and projects moderately; people reach for it in spring and autumn, day or night.
