By the editors · 2 min readSaffron threads a dry, leathery spice through the bright orange-blossom opening, creating an immediate contrast between floral sweetness and arid heat. The heart folds that spice into warm amber while twin tobacco leaves—one cured, one still smoldering—add body and a faintly honeyed rasp that keeps the accord from turning sugary. Throughout, a veil of mineral smoke hovers, not birch-tar loud but steady, pulling the composition toward campfire rather than cigar lounge. Oakmoss creeps in late, grounding the amber with cool forest floor and extending the tobacco’s earthy tail so the fragrance finishes matte rather than glossy. Projection sits at arm’s length for six hours before collapsing into a skin-hugging ember; cool autumn nights and outdoor concerts are its natural habitat.
