By the editors · 2 min readApple and mint create an opening that feels like chilled cider with a mentholated snap, immediately cooling and slightly sweet. The heart layers leather over amber, cedar and coffee, turning the opening's brightness into a dry, roasted wood surface where the coffee's bitterness keeps the amber from turning plush. Cedar's pencil-shaving dryness pushes the leather toward rawhide while sandalwood, ambergris and musk settle into a skin-close base that smells like worn suede dipped in sea salt. Projection stays within arm's length for six hours, making it a quiet daytime leather that works best in spring and early fall when you want smoke without fire.
