Notorious XO

Notorious XO opens with a cognac warmth spiked by pepper's bite, a boozy-spicy greeting that settles into leather and oakmoss—earthy, slightly animalic. Tonka bean and cinnamon emerge in the heart, softening the austerity with creamy sweetness and warmth, while cardamom keeps the composition taut. As it settles, amber and musk anchor the base in skin-close sensuality, praline and vanilla adding a honeyed depth that lingers alongside sandalwood's dry grain. The whole arc moves from sharp and spirited to creamy and dense, leather threading through like smoke.
