Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a sharp, effervescent burst of lemon and bergamot, quickly grounded by the thick, jammy sweetness of dates and a boozy, sophisticated rum accord.
During the first two hours, the citrus recedes to reveal a floral-aromatic heart. Orange blossom provides a clean lift, while roasted coffee beans and fir needles create a unique, slightly gourmand-forest contrast.
The final stage is dominated by a robust woody architecture. Oud smoke and leather provide a masculine edge, while oak and cedarwood ensure a dry, stately finish that persists on the skin.
Performance Dashboard
Excellent; easily exceeds 10 hours on skin with distinct transitions.
Strong projection for the first 3-4 hours before settling into a dense scent bubble.
Moderate to heavy; leaves a noticeable trail without being cloying.
