Leo
Fragrance notes
Leo opens with a sharp blend of cloves and saffron that feels immediate and dry. Cinnamon adds a warm edge, but the spices here are more aromatic than sweet. The initial impression is bold and slightly medicinal, leaning into the clove's natural bite. It does not smell like a bakery or a dessert. The spice is the main event, supported by a subtle woodiness that keeps the opening from feeling flat.
Carnation and amber form the heart, softening the sharp spices without removing their presence. Cedar provides a clean, dry structure that prevents the amber from becoming too heavy. The transition is smooth, moving from the prickly top notes into a warmer, resinous middle. Smoke is present early and grows more noticeable as the fragrance develops, sitting alongside the leather to create a dark, slightly rugged texture.
Vanilla and musk round out the base, adding a gentle sweetness that balances the smoke and leather. Patchouli grounds the composition with an earthy depth. The result is a warm spicy and smoky profile that feels cohesive from start to finish. It suits cooler weather and evening wear. The amber and leather accords dominate the dry down, leaving a rich, resinous trail.
