By the editors · 2 min readRum and tobacco open with a boozy, faintly smoky lift that reads warm and slightly intoxicating from the first minute. There is no fresh top to soften it, just a glass of dark spirits and dried leaf.
Labdanum and honey settle into the heart with a sticky, resinous gold that thickens the rum and bridges into the leather below. The leather is supple rather than harsh, lined with frankincense smoke and ambered warmth.
Overall the impression is a velvety boozy leather, cohesive and singular in mood. It hugs the skin in cool air and turns slightly animalic against body heat over hours.
