By the editors · 2 min readOlibanum and saffron create a resinous, slightly medicinal opening that immediately signals dense amber weight. The heart layers honeyed tobacco over jammy Damask rose and osmanthus, turning the smoke sweet rather than dry, while a coffee accent adds roasted bitterness that keeps the honey from cloying. As the base unfolds, castoreum and civet push a musky, almost urinous leather that rides against creamy tonka and sandalwood, producing a fur-and-amber accord that lingers close to skin. Projection remains intimate for the first hour, then settles into a persistent animalic hum that projects about arm’s length for eight to ten hours. Cool evenings and formal occasions let the leather-tobacco marriage breathe without overheating.
