By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and cardamom crackle together in the opening, the spice dusted over a bright bergamot spark that keeps the first minutes airy rather than syrupy. A taut leather heart slides in quickly, drying the spices and picking up a faint oily smokiness that nudges the composition toward a riding-jacket accord. Ambergris in the base supplies a salt-skin warmth with quiet marine whispers; it stretches the leather so it never becomes thick or tarry, instead settling into a low-sheen skin scent that smells like brushed suede left near ocean air. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, then collapses to a translucent leather-salt residue. Cool fall evenings and smart-casual offices fit its polished restraint, and the spare note list keeps transitions legible rather than ornate.
