Opus VII Reckless Leather

It begins with a jagged edge of pink pepper, nutmeg, and galbanum, slicing through the humidity with green, spicy precision. As the heat wanes, the scent deepens into a dense core of agarwood smoke and charred leather, anchored by the mineral bite of ambergris and ambrox. There is a sleek, animalic pulse from the muscone and costus root that keeps the woodiness from ever feeling static. It is a structured, arid scent that sits close to the skin, lingering on fabric with a persistent, dry trail of olibanum and sandalwood that holds steady against a long day.
