By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly, carrying a citrus brightness that quickly gives way to something more textured. Violet leaf introduces a cool, slightly metallic green quality, while saffron and nutmeg push the composition toward a warm, spiced territory without tipping into heaviness.
The base settles into oakmoss and vetiver, building an earthy, slightly smoky foundation that the suede note softens considerably. That suede element is central here — it bridges the spiced heart and the mossy-green base, giving the whole thing a composed, slightly muted character.
Overall, this reads as a structured masculine fragrance: earthy and spiced, with a leathery drydown that keeps things grounded. It works best in cooler weather and quieter settings.
