A sharp, slightly skanky opening — petitgrain and violet leaf cool and green, raspberry pulling sweet, and cumin laying a warm-skin undertone that immediately gives the composition body.

The heart leans dark-floral: rose surrounded by violet leaf, black pepper, and nutmeg. The pepper and nutmeg keep the rose from softening into prettiness; instead it reads grown, almost gothic.
Vetiver, tobacco, and patchouli close it down — earthy, slightly leathered, the tobacco lending a dry inhale of warmth. An evening fragrance for cooler weather, projecting confidently without being loud.
