By the editors · 2 min readBasil and bergamot offer a fresh, herbal-citrus opening sharpened by anise's licorice-like spice. Lavender and jasmine form an aromatic floral heart that feels both classic and slightly indolic. The base is complex with oakmoss's green bitterness, incense's smokiness, leather's ruggedness, and amber's warmth, alongside tobacco and patchouli. It evolves significantly from fresh-spicy to a smoky, leathery dry-down over hours. Projection is strong with excellent longevity, ideal for fall and winter formal evenings in cool to cold weather.
