By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opening is fleeting, giving way quickly to an assertive leather accord that dominates the heart. Saffron threads a dry, medicinal spice edge through the hide, while apricot and osmanthus lend a muted, slightly over-ripe fruit sweetness that keeps the leather from turning harsh. Rose is present but subdued, acting more as a softener than a featured floral. Ambergris in the base adds a salty, skin-close musk that merges with benzoin’s mild vanillic resin, creating a warm, slightly mineral glow. Frankincense supplies quiet smoke, never churchy, just enough to echo the leather’s tanned character. The scent stays close to the body after the first hour, projecting a low, intimate sillage that feels like worn-in jacket lining. Cool-weather evenings and smart-casual settings suit its restrained swagger; longevity stretches past eight hours on fabric.
