By the editors · 2 min readSage, nutmeg, and anise open in a dry herbal-spicy trio, the anise giving a slight licorice cool that lifts the sage's sharp green edge. The first impression is bracing, with no citrus to be found.
Lavender and tobacco take the heart, the lavender still herbal and clean, the tobacco adding a dry hay-leaf warmth. There is a subtle, slightly dusty quality through the middle, like a tweed jacket pulled out of storage.
The base is sandalwood, amber, cedar, and musk, a soft woody-amber finish that smooths the herbal opening into a contemplative dryout. The overall character is a quiet, dry aromatic with a tobacco-warmed centre, masculine in shape and unhurried in pace.
