Cardamom and bergamot ignite with a bright mandarin snap—sharp, almost piercing. Fig leaf unfolds next, green and slightly metallic, wrapped around the honeyed sweetness of orange blossom and a peppery geranium whisper.

That mineral, slightly bitter edge persists against the warm hide, creating a tense, late-night equilibrium where citrus ghost-notes fade and only leather and herbal quinine linger on skin.
