By the editors · 2 min readCardamom and bergamot open dry and cool, the spice adding more lift than warmth to the citrus. The opening is quick and clean, with the bergamot fading within the first half hour.
Leather and violet sit unusually close together in the heart — the leather suede-like and powdery rather than oily, the violet metallic and a little dusty. This pairing is the signature, neither floral nor full leather but somewhere in between.
Mysore sandalwood, amber, and papyrus form a dry-warm base, the papyrus adding a slightly smoky-paper edge underneath the cream of the sandalwood. The overall character is composed, dry, slightly austere — a powdered-suede sandalwood with a violet whisper. Sits close after the first hour.
