By the editors · 2 min readSaffron, thyme and cardamom create an aromatic spicy opening with warm medicinal and herbal nuances. Plum adds a subtle fruity sweetness that transitions into a floral heart where iris and violet create a powdery texture against rose and cedar. Leather emerges prominently in the base, supported by creamy sandalwood and soft vanilla with musky undertones. The dry-down becomes increasingly leathery and woody with the powdery florals receding into the background. Evolution is complex over several hours with good projection that gradually softens to a skin scent. Longevity extends through the day, making it suitable for formal evening wear in cool fall and winter conditions.
