By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon crackles first, dry and hot, pulling saffron’s metallic honey along so the opening feels like scorched copper. Cardamom slides in with cool green lift, preventing the spices from turning syrupy, while lavender adds a clean, barbershop snap that keeps the heart airy rather than dense. As the spices settle, vetiver threads earthy smoke through the seams, preparing the ground for leather that arrives stiff and matte, not glossy. The leather quickly absorbs the remaining warmth of cinnamon, then oud grafts on, supplying a sour, tarry wood that darkens the entire accord; the result is a dry, spiced hide scent with no sweetness left. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours and leans masculine, performing best in cool weather under a wool coat.
