By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens with a crushed-green bitterness that feels like torn stems and chilled earth. Lavender soon arrives, cooling the greens with a camphorous edge while nutmeg threads a dry, peppery warmth through the heart, turning the composition from raw foliage into something more barbershop-refined. Oakmoss then blankets the aromatics, pumping out a cool, mineral dampness that smells like wet stone and forest floor after rain. Leather finally emerges, not as loud saddle but as a muted, waxed-jacket skin that clings close and softens the mossy bitterness. The ride stays quiet, projecting an arm’s-length aura for about six hours, perfect for cool spring mornings or sharp fall afternoons when you want tailored restraint rather than statement power.
