The heart folds neroli into iris — the white-floral phase brief, the iris drying it almost on contact. Underneath, leather and labdanum begin to creep upward, pulling the composition toward something dustier and more shadowed.
Oakmoss closes things off in a deep chypre register, benzoin warming the smoke. Overall character: a moss-leather neroli with a vintage chypre architecture. The moss anchors the whole thing in a damp, shaded register. Wear feels intentional rather than incidental. The smoke holds rather than dissipates.
