By the editors · 2 min readTobacco leaf dominates from the first breath, dry and faintly sweet, carrying the papery crackle of cured cigars rather than pipe-shop richness. Cedar joins immediately, sharpening the leaf with splintery wood that keeps the accord angular and cool, while a ribbon of translucent smoke drifts through the heart, never thick enough to cloud the structure. Vetiver surfaces in the base, its grassy bitterness slicing the amber’s round sweetness so the composition stays taut and masculine; the cedar reprises here, now polished and skin-warm. Over hours the tobacco darkens, shedding initial sweetness to reveal a leathery, almost tarry facet that clings close to fabric. Projection remains reserved, a scented shadow rather than a statement, thriving in cool air and casual evening settings where intimacy matters more than announcement.
