By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open brisk, a tart citrus flash that quickly makes room for jasmine’s creamy white petals. Tobacco leaf arrives next, dry and faintly honeyed, its tannic edge sharpening the indolic jasmine while violet adds a cool, powdery iris-like veil. Sandalwood and cedar build a blond-wood platform that softens the tobacco’s bite, letting amber and vanilla warm the base into a skin-hugging caramel glow. Musk keeps the dry-down close, turning what began as citrus brightness into a mellow, pipe-tobacco haze that lingers for office-plus hours. Projection stays polite, a handshake radius perfect for fall workdays or cool spring evenings when you want depth without drama.
