By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum and tarragon open with a sharp, resinous green bite that feels like crushed leaves and bitter herbs. The heart keeps that green spine but softens it with jasmine’s indolic cream and a dry, smoky vetiver that pulls the cedar and patchouli into an earthy, almost mossy forest floor accord. After ninety minutes the leather accord surfaces: not gasoline-black but sun-warmed saddle leather dusted with frankincense smoke, while clean musk shears off any lingering sweetness so the finish stays matte and tobacco-hued. Projection remains polite, a low-sillage office-friendly presence that favors cool autumn days and wool jackets.
