By the editors · 2 min readGreen and dewy violet leaf opens with a crisp, almost metallic sharpness that is both modern and arresting. Rich leather and creamy ylang-ylang combine in the heart, creating a bold contrast between animalic depth and tropical floral sweetness. The base is a warm and resinous blend of frankincense and benzoin, smoothed by musky tonka bean that adds a vanillic sweetness to the dry-down. This composition is complex and evolving, with strong projection that gradually softens into a skin-scent over many hours. It is best reserved for evening or special occasions in cooler weather, offering a dramatic and opulent character.
