By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and Virginia cedar open with a dry, woody warmth that carries subtle caramel sweetness. The heart transitions into earthy patchouli and oakmoss, creating a mossy-green foundation. Leather emerges in the base, adding a dry, slightly rugged texture that contrasts the caramel's softness. Dry-down becomes a woody-resinous accord with patchouli's earthiness anchoring the composition. Sillage remains moderate, projecting within arm's length before settling close to skin. Longevity extends through eight hours, best suited for cool fall evenings. The blend evolves from spicy-woody to a leather-moss base with caramel providing subtle sweetness throughout.
