Diplomat de Signature

By the editors · 2 min readLabdanum and benzoin fuse into a resinous, slightly animalic glow that feels more like a base than a top, immediately wrapping the skin in a honeyed amber haze. Within minutes, the heart arrives: stiff, saddle-grade leather pressed against dry, blond tobacco leaf, the two notes trading tannic dryness and soft smokiness so seamlessly that it’s hard to tell where one ends and the other begins. As the leather relaxes, cedar emerges, shaving off the tobacco’s rough edges while letting the ambergris salt the accord with a breezy, skin-warmed mineral sheen. Vanilla never turns dessert-like; instead it quietly rounds the amber, keeping the structure supple for hours. Projection stays within arm’s length, making it an effortless fit for cool autumn offices or low-lit winter bars when you want presence without announcement.
