By the editors · 2 min readBirch and bergamot create an initial sharp, slightly smoky citrus-aromatic opening. Neroli and thyme add a floral-herbal brightness that quickly intertwines with the top notes. Ginger and cinnamon emerge in the heart, introducing a warm-spicy accord that feels both energetic and resinous. Jasmine provides a soft floral backdrop while iris contributes a subtle powdery texture. Leather and oakmoss form a dry, earthy base that grounds the composition with a classic chypre character. The scent evolves significantly from bright and spicy to a deep, mossy-leather dry-down over several hours. It projects well initially before settling close to the skin, best for fall evenings or formal occasions.
