By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is peppery and violet-tinged, with nutmeg adding a dusty warmth that skirts gourmand territory without landing there. It's cleaner than you'd expect from the name, the pink pepper giving lift to what could otherwise feel heavy from the start.
As it settles, jasmine emerges through layers of patchouli and papyrus, creating an aromatic-woody center that reads more refined than rugged. The tobacco and incense in the base are present but restrained, wrapped in tonka bean's soft sweetness and cedar's pencil-shaving dryness. Moss adds a whisper of vintage fougère structure underneath.
The overall effect is a polished masculine that leans darker and more formal than the standard Bentley release. It works for evening wear or colder months, appealing to those who want spiced woods with a touch of sweetness but no interest in smelling overtly sweet or smoky. A boardroom scent with shadows.
