By the editors · 2 min readA spirited opening of mint, rum, lime, and bergamot has the smell of a tropical drink wrapped in cologne, with the rum giving an unmistakable boozy-sweet shading that the mint and lime cool down.
In the heart, tonka bean, clove, grass, and rose build an unusual middle: the grass adds a green-hay freshness, clove brings a tingling warm spice, and tonka begins layering a balsamic sweetness that ties to the rum.
The base settles into vetiver, olibanum, tobacco, and Virginia cedar, lending a smoky, dry-woody floor with tobacco doing most of the work. The overall character is distinctive and adult, suited to cool weather and evenings, with steady longevity and a quietly assertive projection.
