Leather dominates from the first breath, a rich, slightly smoky hide that ylang-ylang softens with creamy banana-like sweetness while nutmeg dusts it with dry, peppery heat.

By the editors · 2 min readLeather dominates from the first breath, a rich, slightly smoky hide that ylang-ylang softens with creamy banana-like sweetness while nutmeg dusts it with dry, peppery heat. Ambergris adds a salty, skin-like musk that keeps the heart airy rather than dense, letting the leather breathe. Vetiver and patchouli in the base tilt the composition earthy and slightly bitter, anchoring the vanilla’s mellow sweetness so the finish reads as tanned leather brushed with dark tobacco and warm resin. Projection stays chest-level for six hours before collapsing to a skin-embrace of musk and softly sweetened wood. Cool evenings and tailored coats are its natural habitat.
