By the editors · 2 min readCumin and galbanum introduce a sharp green-spicy opening with an earthy animalic edge. Vetiver and rum add a dark boozy warmth, blending rooty earthiness with sweetened spirit. Leather and styrax form a resinous base, providing a smoky animalic leather character that dominates the dry-down. The scent transitions from pungent spice to a deep leathery warmth with considerable evolution. It projects strongly and lasts well into the evening. Best for cool weather and formal or evening occasions.
