Scent Journey
A burst of raspberry and green mandarin, brightened by bergamot. The fruit is juicy but not syrupy, with a tart edge that keeps it lively. Within minutes, cardamom and lavender begin to peek through, adding a spicy-aromatic counterpoint.
The heart reveals the full triad: raspberry, cardamom, and leather. Lavender and clary sage add a herbal, almost barbershop-like facet, while the sweetness deepens. The leather is smooth and slightly animalic, not harsh.
Leather, wolfwood, and vetiver take over. The fruity sweetness fades into a warm, smoky, woody base. The animalic facet becomes more pronounced, giving a sensual, skin-like quality. Projection becomes close, but longevity remains.
