By the editors · 2 min readMint and bergamot open with a cool, sharp freshness that reads slightly herbal. The bergamot lifts the mint without sweetening it, keeping the opening clean and slightly austere.
Leather sits at the heart and arrives without much softening. It has a dry, slightly smoky character that feels deliberate — this is not a background material but a central pillar of the composition.
Moss, sandalwood, patchouli, and vanilla form a base that covers considerable ground: earthy, woody, slightly sweet, and resinous at once. The vanilla prevents the leather-moss combination from becoming too stark, while patchouli deepens and darkens the drydown. The overall feel is dry and green-earthy with enough warmth to sustain through cool-weather wear.
