Ginger snaps and tart rhubarb open sharp and alive, cutting through like a pen across paper. The heart softens into green vetiver—earthy, almost grassy—before leather emerges warm and worn, like an old jacket hung on a chair. Java vetiver oil deepens the green-brown interplay while patchouli adds a subtle earthiness and cedar brings a dry, woody spine. Haitian vetiver anchors everything into the skin, mineraled and slightly smoky, where leather and cedar settle into a dusky, resinous finish.
