Pacific Drive

Pacific Drive, from the German house Birkholz, is a woody floral released in 2020, with green, aromatic, amber and citrus sides each about half as strong.

Lemon gives a clean, sharp start, sage adds a soft herbal note, and green leaves a crisp, leafy freshness, like an open car window on a coastal road. Orange blossom and magnolia form the floral heart, sunny and creamy, while cedar runs alongside with a dry, clean woodiness. The base is warm and grounded: patchouli brings an earthy depth, and musk and amber a smooth, gently sweet glow.

Worn by anyone, it suits spring and summer days, travel and the office, and the amber and patchouli give it enough depth for mild autumn evenings. It should appeal to those who like fresh, green florals with a woody backbone and a warm, easy finish, an uncomplicated everyday choice.
