By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot offer a crisp citrus opening that quickly recedes to reveal the heart's complexity. Leather and ambrette create a suede-like texture with a musky animalic undertone. Vanilla and tonka bean add a sweet, resinous quality that softens the leather's sharpness. Heliotrope contributes a powdery almond nuance that blends into the base. Rum provides a boozy warmth alongside cedar's dry wood and patchouli's earthy depth. The dry-down is warm and slightly sweet with good longevity and intimate projection. Suitable for evening wear in cooler seasons.
