Ginger, pink pepper, and saffron arrive together in a trio that feels dry rather than hot — the saffron adding a metallic, almost leathery texture that immediately orients the fragrance away from any sweetness.

By the editors · 2 min readGinger, pink pepper, and saffron arrive together in a trio that feels dry rather than hot — the saffron adding a metallic, almost leathery texture that immediately orients the fragrance away from any sweetness. Bergamot provides brief citrus brightness before it fades.
Violet leaf in the heart extends the cool, green quality of the opening, keeping the composition crisp and slightly earthy at its midpoint. There is no conventional floral warmth here.
Tobacco and suede build a base that is smooth but grounded — the tobacco staying dry rather than smoky, the suede contributing a soft leather accord. The overall character is structured and textural, with spice and leather as its defining poles.
