The take

What works

  • Bright grapefruit + green vetiver is the freshest masculine PdM has done in years
  • Excellent warm-weather and office wearability
  • Cleaner, more transparent take on the modern niche-citrus template

Trade-offs

  • Longevity trails PdM's heavier masculines (Layton, Herod, Pegasus)
  • At $280+ you're paying niche-luxury prices for a fresh citrus that has many strong sub-$100 alternatives
