Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are a burst of salty caramel and black pepper, with a sharp Sichuan pepper kick. It's immediately intriguing—sweet and savory at once, with a slight effervescence that feels almost edible.
After an hour or so, the heart emerges: patchouli and cinnamon bark take center stage. The patchouli is earthy and slightly camphoraceous, while the cinnamon adds a warm, spicy glow. The caramel recedes but never disappears, blending into the woody heart.
Four hours in, the base notes become prominent. Vetiver from Haiti brings a smoky, grassy earthiness, while amber and oakwood provide a resinous, comforting warmth. The overall effect is a rich, woody-sweet skin scent that feels intimate and sophisticated.
Performance Dashboard
8-10 hours on skin, with a lingering presence on clothing that can last well into the next day.
Strong projection for the first few hours, radiating about an arm's length before settling closer to the skin.
Strong sillage—this fragrance announces itself. Expect a noticeable scent bubble that commands attention.
