By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens crisp and slightly bitter, its citrus edge sharpened by a cool, licorice-tinged anise that keeps the top airy rather than juicy. The heart swaps brightness for texture: violet’s cool, suede-like petal folds into a lean, matte leather that smells more like a freshly sealed hide than a smoky jacket. Sandalwood and amber arrive together, the wood lending creamy continuity while amber adds a resinous, tobacco-hued glow that slowly swallows the violet. Patchouli anchors the base, pushing an earthy, bittersweet cocoa facet that keeps the amber from turning syrupy. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, tilting masculine and dry; cool autumn nights and office leather chairs are its natural habitat.
