Pepper and bergamot strike sharply at first, tempered by sage's herbal green. The heart deepens into leather's dry, worn richness while vetiver roots downward with earthy pull. Cocoa enters in the base, adding warmth beneath the leather, while patchouli and ambroxan settle into a woody, skin-like amber that grows softer and less sweet as it dries—the final hours belong to vetiver's mineral grass and a whisper of cocoa dust on warm skin.
