The 162 – inspired by bleecker street unisex fragrance 100 ml opens with violet leaf, blueberry, cassis and thyme. The fruit is set against the leafy and herbal elements, creating a fresh, intriguing beginning with a vibrant character and enough contrast to prepare the way for the warmer notes that follow.

At the heart, cedar joins jasmine and cinnamon, bringing warmth and complexity to the composition. The base then draws together oakmoss, suede and patchouli with amber, vanilla and caramel; this broader foundation deepens the fragrance, moving it from the brightness of its opening towards a richer, more indulgent impression. Vanilla and caramel place a softly sweet counterpoint within that substantial base.

Taken as a whole, 162 moves through clearly defined top, middle and bottom notes, giving its depth room to emerge rather than presenting every facet at once. Its modern sensuality and changing character make it a considered choice for someone who enjoys following the full progression of a fragrance, whether for personal wear or as a present.
