Manhattan

Cinnamon and bergamot ignite with a sharp violet leaf whisper—the opening feels almost peppery, urban. Manhattan settles into a medicinal warmth as tea and olibanum emerge, their incense-like depth threaded through with myrrh and the subtle pepper of pimento leaf. The heart grows resinous, sticky with labdanum. Vetiver and cedar ground the drydown into something woody and dry, while tobacco leaf adds a leathery, slightly burnt character. Vanilla softens the edges without sweetness, lingering with cedar smoke and the faint earthiness of aged tobacco on skin.
