By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright, sharp citrus burst that quickly settles into a resinous haze. Incense rises immediately, its smoky and slightly sweet character wrapping around the crisp top note. Leather emerges in the heart, adding a dry, supple texture that contrasts with the airy smoke. Sandalwood provides a creamy, woody base that softens the composition's sharper edges. Patchouli lends an earthy, slightly sweet grounding that deepens the dry-down. The scent remains moderately projecting for several hours before settling close to the skin, best suited for cool weather evenings.
