By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens crisply before giving way to a dense floral heart where jasmine and ylang-ylang press close together — heady and slightly narcotic. Iris adds a dry, rooty quality that tempers the richness. Leather threads through the middle from the start, not sharp but present, giving the florals a suede-like frame.
Sandalwood, amber, and patchouli build a warm, slightly animalic base that keeps the composition grounded. The musk here reads vintage in character — dense rather than clean. Cedar adds mild structure. The overall impression is of a classic leathery floral built with deliberate richness, more confident than delicate, and suited to cool-weather wear.
Longevity and projection are both substantial.
