By the editors · 2 min readA dark plum and black currant opening, jammy and slightly tart, immediately set against bergamot's brightness. The fruit feels purple rather than red.
The heart is essentially a single rose, but it's been smoked. Leather creeps up almost at once, dragging the rose toward something more bruised and adult. There is a faint cinnamon warmth threaded through.
The base is a polished leather with sandalwood, vanilla rounding the edges and musk extending the trail. Overall character: a fruity-leather rose with a low, animalic glow. Wear feels intentional rather than incidental. The rose stays consistent through every stage rather than fading.
