By the editors · 2 min readGinger and grapefruit open with sharp, energetic brightness — the ginger adds a prickly edge that distinguishes this from a generic citrus start. Lavender and leather follow, and it's a pairing that pulls in opposite directions: the lavender is clean and aromatic, while the leather is dry and slightly animalic. Patchouli grounds the heart without overwhelming it.
Labdanum and amber in the base smooth things considerably, adding resinous warmth that wraps around the sandalwood and musk. The drydown is where this settles into its character — a warm, slightly smoky amber-leather that retains a trace of the herbal lavender throughout. Evolves meaningfully across its arc.
