Famille Cuirée

Bergamot and mandarin burst open with sharp, almost peppery brightness, grounded immediately by a whisper of lemon that feels more pith than sweetness. Cinnamon unfolds across the heart with a dry, almost leathery warmth—not baked spice but something closer to leather-bound pages and worn fabric—layered with earthy patchouli and clean, linear cedar. The base settles into creamy sandalwood and dark tobacco leaf, softened by benzoin's faint vanilla-amber glow and the subtle animalic depth of ambergris, until warm resin and smoke linger quietly on skin.
