Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes burst with a sparkling, sun-drenched citrus blend of Amalfi lemon and Calabrian bergamot, sharpened by pink grapefruit and the green bitterness of lemon leaf. It's a vibrant, almost effervescent opening that quickly softens as the leather and spices begin to emerge.
1-2 hours in, the heart reveals its true character: a smooth, supple leather wrapped around warm nutmeg, cinnamon, and cardamom, with a hint of rose and ylang-ylang adding a floral sweetness. Ambergris lends a subtle salty, skin-like quality.
After 4+ hours, the base settles into a woody, earthy blend of Haitian vetiver, Atlas cedar, and guaiac wood, with a soft musk ensuring a close, intimate finish. The leather remains present, but it's now a whisper rather than a statement.
