By the editors · 2 min readPlum and cardamom create an immediately dark, syrupy opening where the fruit's jammy sweetness is sliced by the spice's camphor bite. The heart layers sandalwood's creamy warmth beneath lavender's cool aromatic lift, while patchouli adds an earthy chocolate thickness that keeps the florals from turning fluffy. Rose reads as a muted dried-petal accent rather than fresh bloom, letting the patchouli-leather axis dominate the mid-development. Dry-down folds white musk into labdanum and benzoin, producing a honeyed amber glow that feels worn-in rather than glossy, with oakmoss providing a quiet forest-floor bitterness that prevents the vanilla from going dessert-level sweet. Projection stays within arm's reach for six hours, making it office-friendly yet present; the leather-patchouli core suits cool fall evenings and smart-casual settings where you want depth without loudness.
