By the editors · 2 min readOrange and lemon peel open with a waxy brightness that clary sage immediately roughs up, giving the citrus a medicinal edge rather than sparkle. Cinnamon bark heats the transition, its dry woodiness knitting with cedar shavings so the heart smells like pencil shavings dusted with baking spice. Leather enters early, matte and thin, pulling the woods away from food territory and anchoring them to skin. Oakmoss and vetiver keep the base cool and green; labdanum’s resin and a quiet vanilla soften the hide without adding sugar, leaving a dry, moss-tinted leather that lingers close to the body. Projection stays office-polite for six hours, best under a tweed jacket in fall.
