By the editors · 2 min readSaffron, blood orange, and bergamot open as a warm citrus-spice combination — the saffron leathery and slightly metallic from the first breath, the blood orange juicy and slightly bitter, bergamot smoothing the join. The opening sets a deliberate, contemplative tone.
Clary sage carries the heart alone. The sage is herbal and slightly musky, providing an aromatic bridge between the spiced top and the dark base. It's a restrained middle, letting the saffron pulse through and the base start to build.
Leather, vetiver, amber, and patchouli form the base. The drydown is the destination: a smooth, slightly smoky leather wrapped in vetiver's earthy bitterness, amber warmth, and patchouli's depth. Projection is steady, longevity strong, the overall character polished and masculine-coded.
