It hits with the distinct, metallic sting of cedrat countered by a heavy dusting of cracked black pepper and nutmeg. This initial sharpness quickly cools as violet and orris bloom, lending a dusty, floral elegance that keeps the scent from feeling too aggressive. A resinous pulse of myrrh anchors the heart, eventually pulling the composition into a dry, earthy base of vetiver and patchouli. A smoothed, oily leather note lingers on the skin, bridging the gap between sophisticated floral and raw wood. It holds a distinct, steady projection that remains present through long evenings.
