By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot open over a warm dusting of nutmeg, giving a bittersweet citrus-leaf brightness that quickly turns more savory than fresh. The nutmeg is restrained, lending warmth rather than spice-cabinet heat.
The heart settles into vetiver and labdanum, where dry rooty smoke meets a sticky resinous warmth. This is the perfume's core character — earthy and slightly leathery, with labdanum carrying an animalic undercurrent that grounds the green vetiver.
The base layers tonka bean, olibanum, and musk into a smoky-sweet drydown. Frankincense smoke threads through tonka's almond softness, while musk smooths the edges. Overall it reads as a polished masculine fougère-amber, dry and resin-forward, with quiet warmth rather than projection.
