A leather scent built around an austere mineral core. The opening is briefly citric before giving way to dry suede and a thread of smoke—not the plush, animalic leather of vintage fougères, but something closer to architect's vellum or saddle soap left in a stone cellar. The progression is linear rather than dramatic.
What distinguishes it is restraint. Many contemporary leather fragrances load on vanilla or amber to soften the impact; this one holds back, letting a faint metallic coolness persist beneath the skin. The effect is formal without being stiff, appropriate for someone who prefers understatement to projection.
Best suited to cooler months and situations where quiet authority matters more than presence. It wears close and fades gracefully, leaving a trace of clean leather and something faintly herbaceous in its wake.
