By the editors · 2 min readNutmeg opens dry and peppery, scattering warm spice across the top before sandalwood arrives with its creamy, blond-wood body. In the heart, patchouli brings a camphoraceous earthiness that darkens the leather, turning it from suede to saddle; together they blot out most of the sandalwood’s sweetness. Vetiver and Virginia cedar drive the dry-down, sharpening the wood with green-smoke accents while amber pools a soft resinous glow beneath the musk. The result is a matte, slightly tarry woods accord that stays close to the skin yet persists for a full workday, projecting a calm, unshowy masculinity. Cool autumn days and indoor offices suit it best; humid heat flattens the spices and makes the leather feel brittle.
