By the editors · 2 min readSaffron opens with a dry, papery spice that sharpens the immediate tobacco leaf, while a dark rose folds into the cured leaf rather than standing apart. Birch tar arrives early, welding its creosote edge to saffron-tinted tobacco and forming a hard leather carapace that mutes the rose’s petals. Bulgarian rose re-emerges in the heart, now soaked in patchouli’s cocoa-brown earth, softening the tarry crackle enough to reveal a velvety red core beneath the smoke. Tonka injects warm hay and almond bitters, cushioning birch’s tar and letting sandalwood spread a creamy screen that keeps the accord from turning harsh. Ambergris salts the dry-down, lifting vetiver’s rooty snap so the leather-tobacco core hovers just above skin, exhaling a quiet animalic heat for hours. Moderate projection, perfect for cool evenings when you want old-club intimacy without shouting.
