By the editors · 2 min readNightcap opens with ginger, tobacco, and nutmeg—a trio of warm, dry aromatic notes that sets an immediately mature, slightly boozy tone. The tobacco is dry rather than sweet; ginger adds bite; nutmeg rounds the spice.
Leather forms the entire heart—smooth, cool, assertive. It pulls the spice opening into something more grounded and substantial.
White musk, sandalwood, amber, vanilla, and smoke complete the base. Smoke reinforces the tobacco character while vanilla and amber warm the dry-down. The overall impression is a dark, contemplative leather-spice fragrance with smoke and vanilla depth—a fitting nightcap. Best in cold weather.
