By the editors · 2 min readLemon provides a sharp and fleeting citrus opening that quickly gives way to aromatic rosemary and green violet leaf. Labdanum introduces a warm balsamic resinous quality that bridges the top and heart stages with a slightly leathery texture. Leather dominates the dry-down, feeling robust and slightly animalic, supported by cedar’s dry woodiness and amber’s warm glow. The overall character is aromatic and leather-forward, with a classic structure that feels both rugged and refined. Sillage is moderate initially but becomes skin-close within an hour, lasting well through cooler evenings. It suits autumn days and casual outdoor occasions where its boldness can resonate.
