By the editors · 2 min readCumin and galbanum create a pungent, green-spicy opening that is both aromatic and animalic. Bergamot provides a sharp citrus counterpoint that cuts through the intensity of the initial accord. Vetiver and cedar form a dry, woody heart that feels earthy and slightly smoky in character. Leather and castoreum dominate the base with a robust, animalic texture that is both warm and balsamic. Incense and myrrh add a resinous smokiness that deepens the leathery dry-down. This composition evolves significantly over hours, projecting strongly for twelve-plus hours. Ideal for cold weather formal occasions or evening wear.
