By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper, raspberry, strawberry, pink pepper, lemon, grapefruit, and grass compose a complex, energetic opening — the two peppers providing dry-spiced heat while berries and citrus add sweetness and brightness. Grass adds a faint green edge. The opening is dense and slightly overwhelming with competing freshness.
Gardenia, thyme, suede, and rose form the heart. Suede is an unusual heart note — soft, slightly powdery, adding a luxurious skin-like quality. Gardenia brings a creamy white floral note; thyme a sharp herbal note; rose warmth.
Moss, leather, oud, honey, patchouli, and musk close the composition in a complex, dark, animalic-leaning base. Honey adds sweetness to the leather; oud provides depth; moss earthiness. A highly complex fragrance with broad range across all stages.
