Bergamot and cardamom arrive first - citrusy, spiced, and slightly mysterious. Then the composition opens up: vetiver, cedarwood, lavender, and amber layer in quietly, each one adding weight and dimension until the whole thing settles into something that feels like a forest at dusk.
A fragrance that rewards patience. 50ml EDP. Small batch. Paraben and phthalate-free.
Who's It For
Wearers who like their fragrances earthy, complex, and unhurried. Beyond The Pines sits in the woody-aromatic family but the lavender adds an unexpected softness, and the amber dry-down gives it warmth without sweetness. One of the more versatile scents in the Persons of Interest range - strong enough for evenings, composed enough for everyday wear.

Why MASC Recommends This
Beyond The Pines is the most layered composition in the Persons of Interest lineup - the bergamot and cardamom opening is genuinely unexpected alongside vetiver and lavender, and the amber dry-down ties it together without oversimplifying it. A fragrance worth spending time with, made in small batches in Toronto by a brand that approaches gender-neutral perfumery as a genuine creative exercise rather than a marketing angle.
