By the editors · 2 min readWith only a general note list, the structure reads as a leather-aromatic without distinct phases. Leather sits at the centre — dry, slightly smoky, more finished hide than raw animalic — with bergamot lending a bright lift around the edges.
Lavender adds an aromatic herbal counterpoint, while fig brings a green milky-fruity thread that softens the leather and keeps the composition from feeling austere. Vetiver darkens the floor with dry earthy character.
Nutmeg threads warm spice through the arrangement, tying leather and fig together. Overall character is a polished leather-aromatic with a green fig accent — projecting moderately, reading sophisticated, well-suited to cool-weather casual or office wear.
