Rhinoceros

By the editors · 2 min readRhinoceros opens with a surprising jolt of boozy rum tempered by crisp lavender and sage—an immediate contrast between refinement and raw energy. The spirit feel fades quickly, leaving a warm, leathery tobacco accord that anchors the composition. Cedar adds structure, but it's the tobacco that dominates the heart, earthy and slightly sweet, like a well-worn satchel left in a sunlit room.

The drydown settles into a soft, burnished leather with sandalwood smoothing its edges. Vetiver and amber lend weight without turning heavy, while musk keeps everything close to the skin. The overall effect is surprisingly wearable—less literal rhinoceros than the idea of quiet strength, a tamed wildness. It evokes old libraries, vintage travel gear, the kind of person who prefers solitude but carries presence effortlessly.
