By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit cuts a bright, bitter slash across the opening, quickly tethered by lavender’s cool, slightly camphor lift that keeps the citrus from turning candied. The heart trades sparkle for weight as supple leather merges with dry, blond tobacco leaf, producing a matte, slightly honeyed smoke that clings to skin rather than room. Here the oud shows as band-aid funk and singed cedar, while amber spreads a resinous glow that softens the hide without erasing its grain. Over hours the grapefruit vanishes, lavender retreats to a clean shadow, and the base settles into a warm, tar-tinged skin lacquer that projects a forearm’s length through clothes. Cool fall nights, dark bars, leather jackets still warm from the bike.
