This one opens with bergamot giving a short, clean lift before iris and chestnut take the lead, a slightly nutty, powdery combination you do not see often. Whiskey adds a boozy warmth through the heart, and by the base, amber, benzoin, cedarwood and vetiver settle it into something smooth and refined. The chestnut and whiskey pairing gives it real personality, more distinctive than a typical woody amber.
Projection is moderate, staying close but noticeable, with a longevity that comfortably reaches seven to eight hours. Fits well for winter evenings, formal occasions, and any setting where a smooth, grown-up scent is called for.
