Quality Of Flesh

Quality of Flesh opens with a sharp, almost herbaceous bite—juniper and twin peppers creating a bracing entry that feels mineral and slightly astringent. The heart softens into warmer territory: styrax and costus bring a resinous sweetness while narcissus adds a whisper of pale floral restraint, all grounded by patchouli's earthy shadow. The base unfolds into something animalic and dense—leather worn smooth, castoreum's musky warmth, benzoin's vanilla-tinged amber, civet's intimate, skin-close depth. The fragrance settles into a sensual, slightly animalic hum that lingers close to the body.
