Description
The story behind this fragrance
Bright citrus and cedar greet the skin with a sharp, almost herbal snap—bergamot and mandarin cutting through morning air. The heart softens into iris and jasmine, rose petals dusted with vetiver's earthy grip, while patchouli adds a low, restless hum. As warmth settles, leather and opoponax emerge, honeyed and slightly animalic, anchored by sandalwood and musk that deepen into amber-tinged skin scent. Incense smoke curls through the drydown, lingering with vanilla's creamy undertone and a whisper of civet's intimate musk.
