Opens with a sharp leather and saffron prickle dusted by pink pepper — bright on the surface but already shadowed underneath, the leather reading more soft suede than tannery.

The heart leans powdery and floral as orris and suede press together with violet and a quiet may rose, the iris lending a cool root-like dampness while violet pushes a faint metallic shimmer. The composition stays in this powdered-suede register for most of its length, with sandalwood arriving in the drydown as a clean creamy backbone rather than a sweet one. Texture is velvety and matte, projection is moderate then close, the temperature reads cool with warm edges. It evokes a velvet ribbon laid over old paper.
Overall a powdery iris-suede composition with a saffron-leather opening signature.
