Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes open with a surprising burst of lavender and grapefruit. The lavender is aromatic and slightly herbal, while the grapefruit adds a fresh, citrusy sparkle. This opening is brighter than one might expect from a leather and oud fragrance, making it more versatile for spring and early fall.
After 1-2 hours, the heart reveals its true character: tobacco, oud, and leather. The tobacco is rich and slightly sweet, the oud is woody and animalic, and the leather adds a smooth, smoky texture. The lavender from the top lingers subtly, bridging the fresh opening with the darker heart.
From 4+ hours onward, the base of oud and amber takes over. The oud remains prominent, but the amber adds a warm, resinous sweetness that softens the animalic edges. The drydown is long-lasting and cozy, perfect for cooler evenings.
