By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and cardamom open with a dry, papery spice that crackles against bergamot’s tart zest, the nutmeg adding a muted, dusty sweetness. The heart quickly folds lavender’s clean aromatic lift into cured tobacco leaf and a supple leather accord, the clove lending a quiet, medicinal warmth that keeps the tobacco from turning syrupy. As the base settles, tonka bean’s soft almond facet merges with labdanum’s resinous amber glow, while patchouli earths the whole circuit with a bittersweet cocoa dust that lingers on skin. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, then collapses to a suede-like skin veil perfect for cool spring evenings or a crisp fall office day.
