This fragrance starts with sweet and fresh notes of mandarin orange, bergamot, and sparkling lemon, followed by green tea and black pepper. Seeds of black sesame and berries of South American pimento dominate the heart of the fragrance, and the base is made of Peruvian cedar, vetiver and light musk.

Stephen Klein was the photographer of the advertising campaign, and the famous actor was photographed in dense Brazilian jungle.
