By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a crisp, citrusy introduction that quickly recedes to reveal a dense, earthy heart. Sandalwood and vetiver form a dry, woody core, while patchouli adds an earthy depth that grounds the composition. Cardamom contributes a warm, aromatic spice that lifts the heavier base notes without sweetening them. Leather and oakmoss dominate the dry-down, creating a classic, slightly animalic chypre structure with a mossy, textured finish. Projection is strong initially but settles into an intimate skin scent within three hours, lasting seven to ten hours total. This scent suits formal evening occasions in cool or cold weather, with a complexity that unfolds gradually.
