By the editors · 2 min readBrave Heart opens with black pepper, cardamom, and bergamot — a confident spiced-citrus combination that's immediate and forceful. The cardamom especially reads with depth and warmth from the first moment.
Leather arrives in the heart alongside clary sage, which adds an herbaceous, slightly bittersweet quality that cuts the leather's richness. The combination is distinctly masculine-coded and unambiguous in its character.
Sandalwood, ambergris, amber, vanilla, and musk form a rich, resinous drydown. The ambergris lends a smooth, slightly salty warmth. The leather threads through to the close, anchoring everything. A well-structured spiced-leather fragrance — assured, with good projection and staying power.
