By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon and bergamot open with a hot-spicy bite over a quick citrus flash, the cinnamon dominating within minutes. The opening already signals a heavy ambered direction.
With no listed heart, the scent sinks straight into a dense resin-and-leather base. Frankincense and styrax bring smoky balsamic depth, labdanum and benzoin pour sticky golden warmth, and the leather emerges supple and slightly animalic underneath. Ambergris adds a salty animal hum.
Overall this is a smoky amber-leather built on resins, dark and saturated, with a long slow drydown. Best in cold weather and intimate evening settings. Projects firmly in the first hours, then closes in.
