By the editors · 2 min readTobacco dominates from the first breath, dark and honeyed, pressed against clary sage that adds a bitter-green counterweight. Cardamom sparks on top, brief but bright, before lavender smooths the transition into a sticky honeyed heart where the leaf still rustles underneath. Leather emerges slowly, folding the tobacco’s sweetness into a supplely waxy hide that clings to skin for hours. The base stays close, a quiet hum of resinous tobacco-leather with a faint vanillic wash rather than a distinct vanilla note, creating a warm, slightly smoky skin scent. Projection stays within arm’s length; the composition feels built for cool evenings when you want richness without shouting it across the room.
