By the editors · 2 min readSage and basil open with an herbal green character, while frankincense adds a smoky resinous quality. Saffron provides a soft-spicy accent that blends with ylang-ylang's floral sweetness. Leather emerges strongly in the heart, creating a dominant leather accord supported by violet's powdery texture. Oud and tobacco form a deep base with smoky and earthy qualities, while sandalwood and cedar add woody warmth. The composition evolves from herbal-spicy to a leather-dominant dry-down with complex smoky undertones. Projection is strong initially but settles to a moderate sillage that lasts through the evening. Best for fall and winter formal or special occasions in cool weather.
