Apple, cinnamon, violet leaf, nutmeg, and rose form the heart — an unusual combination that straddles fruity, spiced, and floral registers simultaneously. The cinnamon and nutmeg provide warmth; apple adds fruity sweetness; violet leaf contributes a cool, slightly green note; rose grounds the heart in classic florality.
Tonka bean, patchouli, and suede anchor the base with dry, leathery warmth. The suede is smooth rather than aggressive; patchouli adds earthiness; tonka provides sweet, almondy softness. A versatile masculine-leaning aromatic with genuine presence and range.
