By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf and iris create a cool, powdery-green opening accented by pink pepper’s mild spicy sparkle. Leather emerges prominently in the heart, lending a smooth, almost suede-like texture that is softened by jasmine’s floral sweetness. White musk and tonka bean blend in the base, offering a creamy, vanillic warmth that balances the earlier powdery and leathery elements. The dry-down is a soft, musky-powdery leather with a comforting gourmand undertone that stays intimate on skin. Sillage is modest from the start, making it a close-wearing scent with moderate longevity. Ideal for cooler weather and formal or evening occasions where its refined, slightly retro elegance feels distinctive.
