By the editors · 2 min readOpens with black pepper as the only top note, dry and sharp, with no citrus or sweetness softening the entry. The first minutes are direct and slightly austere.
In the heart, patchouli takes over almost immediately, lending the perfume a thick, earthy, slightly camphorous quality. The pepper continues to thread through, keeping the patchouli from feeling stuffy. There are no florals to soften the middle, which keeps the composition firmly on the masculine, woody-earthy side.
The base of sandalwood, vetiver and amber gives the drydown a warm, slightly smoky woody character with a quiet ambery glow underneath. Vetiver adds an earthy-mossy spine that pairs naturally with the patchouli. Projection is moderate and the trail wears long and dark.
