Black Beard

Black Beard opens with a sharp bite of black pepper that catches in the back of the throat, then unfolds into a warm, resinous core where amber and myrrh glow beneath spiced cumin and creeping oud. Saffron threads through, earthy and slightly metallic. As it settles, vetiver root and cedar anchor the composition while cloves and castoreum deepen into a smoky, animalic finish that feels lived-in, weathered, intimate—something between incense and skin.
