Stercus

Almond and anise open with a sharp, almost metallic shimmer from aldehydes—crystalline and slightly dizzying. A single rose floats through the middle, velvety but restrained, before the base settles into warm, animalic musk and creamy heliotrope. Leather emerges alongside cedar, grounding the sweetness, while agarwood brings a smoky, resinous undertone that pulls everything earthward. Vanilla rounds the edges without softening the core—Stercus remains tenacious and raw, the leather and agarwood darkening as they dry against skin, finally leaving a whisper of musk and woody incense at the pulse points.
