Mark Buxton

Mastic opens with a bright, resinous snap—green galbanum and basil sharp against black pepper's heat, cassis threading dark fruit underneath. The leather-rhododendron heart settles into something leathery and floral, grounded and almost austere. Amber and labdanum warm the close while vetiver and guaiac wood add a woody, slightly smoky spine that lingers like smoke curling through worn suede. Mark Buxton by Renegades walks a taut line between herbaceous green and weathered depth.
