By the editors · 2 min readLavender opens clean and aromatic, cutting a cool swath across the skin before tobacco lands with a dry, cured-leaf crackle that pulls the scent darker. The heart is dominated by this tobacco accord, its honeyed bitterness tightening as sandalwood rises, adding creamy, blond wood that softens the leaf’s edge. Leather enters next, a supple, suede-like presence that folds the tobacco into a muted, masculine wallet-tobacco accord while amber pools underneath, lending a quiet, resinous glow. Dry-down stays close, a skin-hugging weave of wood, hide, and amber with lingering lavender cleanliness peeking through. Projection remains polite, ideal for office or cool spring evenings when you want depth without announcement.
