Grapefruit and cardamom open in a cool, slightly tart-spicy chord, the cardamom keeping the citrus from going purely fresh and introducing a warm-pod undertone almost immediately.

Black pepper and cedar build the heart in a dry, vaguely boardroom-sharp register — pepper biting, cedar pencil-clean — without adding much in the way of complication. The progression is linear, holding a single aromatic-woody mood through the middle.
Leather, vanilla and patchouli handle the drydown, with the leather soft and suede-textured rather than animalic, vanilla adding a small sweet warmth, and patchouli's cocoa earthiness anchoring the close. The whole arc is a tidy, mass-market masculine — projecting moderately for a few hours and settling into a clean, slightly sweet leathery finish on skin.
