By the editors · 2 min readBasil dominates the opening, releasing a green-spicy flash sharpened by twin lemons that scours the palate before bergamot softens the edges with thin citrus oil. The heart quickly folds honeyed tobacco into the aromatic greens; jasmine and rose add a faint floral lift while cardamom injects a cool, peppery crackle that keeps the tobacco from turning syrupy. As the base settles, leathery castoreone and civet darken the honey, ambergris adds a salty, skin-warmed glow, and patchouli-vetiver earth anchors the sweetness so it smolders rather than cloys. Projection carries an arm’s length, projecting best in cool fall evenings or a leather-jacket spring night when the honeyed skin trace can mingle with outside air.
