By the editors · 2 min readCumin bursts forward with a dry, slightly sweaty heat that immediately signals skin spice. Nutmeg folds into this warmth, adding a woody, peppery facet that keeps the heart from turning gourmand. Leather emerges early, smooth and lightly tarry, while benzoin lays down a sweet, resin-like resin that softens the hide without adding sugar. Patchouli and lavender stay low, lending a cool, earthy green underside that prevents the composition from clumping into a solid brown mass. Over hours the cumin recedes, leaving a clean, suede leather warmed by benzoin and a dusting of nutmeg. Projection sits at arm’s length for four-five hours, then hugs skin; the balance of arid spice and sueded leather fits cool spring nights and crisp fall days equally.
