Fragrance notes
Character
Aldehydes and absinthe lead the opening with a bright, slightly medicinal lift that cuts through the sharper edge of rhubarb and cardamom. Cedar and angelica add a dry, green structure that keeps the start from feeling sweet. The spices are present but restrained, giving the entrance a clean, upright character that feels composed rather than crowded.
Clary sage and geranium take over with a herbal, slightly soapy freshness, while iris brings a soft, powdery texture that rounds the edges. Nutmeg adds gentle warmth, and fig contributes a muted, creamy depth that never turns sugary. The heart stays aromatic and woody, leaning into the sage and geranium rather than the fruit, with the powdery accord smoothing the transition toward the base.
Black leather and amber give the drydown a dark, resinous weight, supported by guaiac wood, frankincense, and Haitian vetiver. Cedar returns alongside the Belambra tree to keep the wood tone steady and dry. The leather is smooth rather than harsh, and the amber adds just enough glow to balance the incense. A crisp morning with a jacket on, or a cool evening walk down a quiet street, fits this scent perfectly for the man who prefers woody aromatics over sweet or loud compositions.
