By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is sharp and herbal, basil cutting through with an almost medicinal clarity before the warmth begins to gather. Within minutes, cinnamon and tobacco fold together into something dense and slightly sweet, the spice smoothing out the tobacco's natural bitterness without tipping into dessert territory.
What settles is a woody, mossy base that feels distinctly mid-nineties: sandalwood and patchouli providing heft, oakmoss adding a dry, forested quality, vetiver keeping everything grounded. The tobacco never quite leaves, threading through the drydown like smoke caught in wood paneling.
This is a fragrance for cooler weather and evening wear, unapologetically masculine in the traditional sense. It doesn't whisper. The projection is moderate but persistent, the kind of scent that announces itself in enclosed spaces and lingers on wool and leather.
