Description
The story behind this fragrance
Sepia opens with bright citrus—grapefruit and mandarin—cut through by dry cedar, then deepens into a warm, almost edible middle where cacao and coffee ground a creamy jasmine, with a curious strawberry sweetness threading through. The base unfolds like old paper and leather: earthy mushroom, white tobacco smoke, and oud wrap around sticky labdanum and a faintly animalic indole-ambergris hum that feels intimate and slightly powdery. This fragrance sits somewhere between a vintage photograph and a spiced dessert—contemplative, sepia-toned, unexpectedly gourmand beneath its quiet exterior.
