By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and fig open with an unusual combination — fig bringing a dark, slightly milky quality while black pepper adds sharpness. Cardamom contributes warm spice in the heart, reinforcing the pepper without duplicating it.
Oakmoss, tobacco, and coffee form the base — a dense, earthy-smoky foundation. Tobacco and coffee create a bitter, rich depth, while oakmoss adds a green-earthy quality that gives the base a distinctly classical character.
A dark aromatic masculine with a figgy opening and a mossy tobacco-coffee base. The oakmoss gives it vintage structural character. Strong projection and longevity expected from the base materials. Best in cooler conditions.
