By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper and cardamom deliver a fresh-spicy opening with bergamot’s citrus brightness and clary sage’s herbal tone. Leather and suede form a robust heart accented by orris’ powdery texture and raspberry’s subtle fruitiness. Rose and freesia add a floral softness that tempers the leather’s intensity. Incense and vetiver in the base create a smoky woody dry-down with patchouli’s earthiness and tonka’s sweetness. The scent evolves significantly from spicy to leathery to resinous over six hours. Strong projection makes it suitable for formal evening wear in cool weather.
