The sharp, piney snap of juniper berries cuts through the air instantly, cooled further by a chalky, powdery violet. It moves quickly into a structured heart of smooth, dark leather, grounded by the earthy dampness of patchouli. This isn't a fragrance that blooms; it sits close, steady and architectural, with a dry amber warmth that mimics the skin rather than masking it. It resists traditional sweetness, opting instead for a cold, metallic clarity that lingers precisely on the pulse points.
