His Confession

Mandarin and cinnamon provide an immediate, dry heat before lavender pulls the composition into cooler, aromatic territory. At its center, cypress and mahonial bridge the gap toward a rooty iris, giving the scent a precise, powdery structural elegance. It hangs close but persistent, relying on a base of benzoin, patchouli, and incense to deepen the woodiness. Vanilla and tonka bean round off the sharpness, keeping the overall dry-wood character smooth rather than jagged. It clings to fibers through long evening hours, offering a steady, resinous warmth that settles comfortably against the skin.
