By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and violet leaf open sharp and metallic, lemon adding a quick bite that's gone within minutes. The opening reads dark-green and slightly biting, no fresh sweetness.
Saffron threads into the heart with its leathery, slightly medicinal warmth, and orange blossom softens the edges with a faint indolic floral lift. By the half-hour the base is rising: tonka's sweet-hay quality married to labdanum's resinous animalic warmth, with cinnamon adding red bark spice. The construction is dry, dark, leathery — saffron and labdanum doing most of the work, with the tonka keeping it from going completely austere. Smoky finish.
Overall a dark warm-spicy leather oriental, dense and projecting. Cool-weather evening. Rewards careful application.
