By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and petitgrain provide a crisp aromatic opening that quickly settles into a leather-dominant heart. Orange blossom adds a subtle floral lift while patchouli introduces an earthy depth beneath the main accord. Vetiver grounds the composition with its dry, woody character, blending seamlessly into an amber and vanilla base that offers a warm, slightly sweet resinous finish. The dry-down maintains a robust leather presence softened by these oriental elements, creating a scent that evolves from sharp to smooth over several hours. Projection is moderate with a sillage that remains intimate after the first hour, suitable for evening wear in cooler weather. Longevity extends well into the late hours, making it a solid choice for fall and winter occasions.
