By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is unmistakable — rum, sticky and boozy, with pink pepper sparking off the top to keep things from cloying. It reads as cocktail-bar warmth, viscous and slightly sweet.
Myrrh and orange blossom move into the heart, the myrrh adding a balsamic gravitas and the orange blossom lifting things floral-ward, though the rum thread remains steadily audible underneath everything.
The base is where the composition settles into its barrel-aged identity: leather, vanilla, patchouli and vetiver, the leather smoky, the vanilla slow, the patchouli earthen. The whole drydown smells like an oak cask. Overall the perfume reads warm, intoxicated and quietly seductive, with a long slow burn.
