By the editors · 2 min readLemon and violet open with a slightly mismatched pairing — the lemon sharp and zesty, the violet powdery and candy-like. The effect is brief and slightly retro.
Black pepper and saffron drive the heart, the pepper dry and prickly, the saffron metallic and warm-leathery. Mandarin from the general list adds a juicier citrus echo underneath. The spice pairing pulls the composition firmly into a warm register.
The base is leather-led — suede smooth rather than tarry — with tonka adding hay-vanilla warmth and cedar pencil-shaving wood underneath. The overall character is a spicy-leather woody with a powdery violet halo — masculine-leaning, projecting moderately, best suited to cool-weather evening or formal wear.
