Still clean when the day's done.

One central accord — Cold Forest — three leans (performance, efficacy, control), two overlayers (freshness, cooling).

From the emotional core

Mark is sorted in a few places — the morning that runs itself, the day held the same start to finish, and the quiet he protects at home. Those places are where the notes come from: the clean linen and white soap of an unfussed morning, the pine and cedar of the outdoors he keeps, the coffee and cinnamon of a settled routine. The families below are those places, turned into scent.

The fragrance strategy

One central accord, three leans.

One fragrance for Mark — then three leans on it, each the very same central accord with a single facet turned up and brought to the front: the fresh for performance, the clean for efficacy, the woods for control, and a deeper move that lifts the whole thing to Clinical+. The same juice throughout — leaned, never re-mixed.

Cold Forest
The central accord
Cold Forest
pinefirfresh grassleaveseucalyptus

One fragrance: cool pine and crisp fir over fresh-cut grass and torn leaves, a clean eucalyptus lift threading through — it smells of open air at 7 a.m. and the same at 9 p.m. The three leans below are this one core, each with a single facet turned up and brought to the front.

Make it Clinical+
The elevated move
Make it Clinical+
Deepen it with warm resin and dry cedar.

Clinical+ is not medical. It is the performance lean dialled to its maximum — for the power user who wants the most from it: stronger projection, a longer hold, a deeper finish. The heavier, longer-lasting materials below are simply what that hyper-performance smells like.

The overlayers
