By the editors · 2 min readBergamot, lime and lemon fuse into a bright citrus flash that immediately gets roughed up by birch tar, creating a smoky leather accent rather than a clean cologne. The heart layers jasmine and ylang-ylang into an oily yellow-floral layer that clings to the still-sharp citrus edges, while a green, stemmy fig note keeps the bouquet from turning sweet. Cinnamon lands early in the base, warming the birch and turning the leather accord supple and slightly dusty before oud and patchouli arrive. The oud here is dry and papery, more barn-board than barnyard, letting the patchouli’s cocoa-earth facet dominate the late dry-down. Projection stays within arm’s length for eight hours, making it a cool-weather evening choice that reads assertive rather than loud.
