The opening leans bright with bergamot, orange, and lemon before cinnamon and carnation bring a spiced warmth into the mix. Rose sits quietly in the heart, giving it an unexpected softness against the spice. The base is where it gets serious: leather, amber, labdanum, and oakmoss over vanilla, rich and lingering without feeling heavy.
It works best in cooler months and after dark, when the spiced citrus opening gives way to that warm leather trail. Projection is confident in the first hour then softens, and longevity easily spans an evening.
