By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot create a brisk, slightly bitter citrus opening that feels more pith than juice. Within minutes cinnamon ignites, its hot-dry bark curling around cardamom’s green sparkle while leather stretches underneath, matte and faintly waxy. Cypriol adds a smouldering, almost mineral smoke that keeps the spices from turning bakery-sweet. The base is dominated by sandalwood’s creamy, lactonic wood, but birch tar and patchouli inject rough, tarry edges, and oakmoss lays down a cool, loamy carpet that reins in amber’s glow. Over hours the leather softens, the spices fade, and what remains is a dry sandalwood-amber skin scent flecked with birch embers. Projection sits at arm’s length for five hours, then hugs the body, ideal for crisp autumn evenings or a smart-casual office.
