By the editors · 2 min readWith no listed top notes, the composition opens into its heart immediately: lavender — dry, aromatic, slightly camphorous — paired with jasmine for a discreet floral lift. The opening reads cool and herbal rather than fresh-citrus.
The transition to base is short. Guaiac wood arrives smoky and dry, with a leather-adjacent burnt facet, alongside Virginia cedar's pencil-shaving woodiness. Suede smooths everything into a soft, slightly tarry leather impression.
The overall character is a stripped-down fougere-leather hybrid: lavender's chill against a smoky-suede floor. Projection moderate through the first hours, longevity comfortable, settling into a dry, masculine-leaning skin trail. It reads pitched for cool-weather office or evening wear.
