To Be

Police To Be, released in 2011, is a straightforward woody fragrance for men, with smaller touches of spice, greenery, amber and citrus around a cedar core.

Grapefruit opens it with a sharp, slightly bitter freshness, and pepper adds a dry prickle. Violet leaf brings a cool, green, almost cucumber-like note that keeps the start crisp. The heart of the scent is cedar, including Virginia cedar, which gives a pencil-shaving dryness, while patchouli adds an earthy depth. Amber warms the finish just enough to soften the woods without making them sweet.

The result is clean, casual and easy to understand, the kind of scent that works for everyday wear, at work or at the weekend. Its fresh-woody balance leans towards spring and autumn days, and it suits someone who wants an uncomplicated woody signature without much sweetness.
