By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper and bergamot open with a dry, slightly metallic edge — crisp rather than zesty. The citrus fades quickly as iris and suede push forward, giving the heart a cool, almost powdery leather quality. Patchouli adds a modest earthiness without going dark or sweet.
Ambroxan and ambrox dominate the dry-down, producing that characteristic skin-close, woody-musky warmth. Tonka bean rounds the base without tipping into sweetness. The overall feel is restrained and mineral — closer to a quiet skin-amplifier than a statement fragrance. It wears lean, well-suited to cooler days where something polished but unconventional is wanted.
