By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is clean and citric—a bright sweep of lemon and bergamot that feels almost scrubbed, like morning air through an open stable door. There's no lingering sweetness here, just a sharp clarity that gives way quickly to something more complex.
The heart introduces a spiced greenness, where violet leaf brings its cool, slightly metallic edge and cardamom adds warmth without heaviness. Nutmeg rounds out the middle, but it's the violet that keeps things from feeling overtly masculine in the traditional sense. This is where the fragrance finds its stride—neither fresh nor heavy, but balanced in a way that feels deliberately understated.
The leather in the base is soft and worn rather than aggressive, blending with vetiver's earthy dryness and a touch of benzoin that adds just enough resin to smooth the edges. It settles close to the skin as something restrained and quietly refined—suited to someone who prefers subtlety over statement.
