My Credo
Fragrance notes
My Credo is here for the person who wants a powdery floral that refuses to stay soft. The opening of violet and iris sets a cool, dusty tone that feels deliberate rather than decorative. It is not a bright greeting meant to charm on first contact. The florals sit close and dry, creating a clean slate that asks for something heavier to arrive. This is a fragrance that leads with restraint, and that choice shapes everything that follows.
The heart introduces sandalwood and rice basmati, which ground the powder in something warm and edible without ever becoming sweet. The rice note adds a gentle, starchy comfort that keeps the sandalwood from feeling too polished. Then the base takes over with black pepper, cardamom, and leather. The spices are sharp and bright, cutting through the earlier softness with a dry heat. The leather arrives last and it is animalic, lending a rugged texture that pulls the entire composition toward a darker, more masculine edge.
That tension between the cool iris and the rough leather is where My Credo makes its case. The cardamom and pepper ensure the drydown stays aromatic and savory rather than turning resinous. It suits someone who enjoys a scent that moves from a quiet powder to a spicy, animalic skin scent with a distinct bite. The savory quality of the basmati and the heat of the pepper make it a strong fit for cooler weather, where the warmth of the spices can sit against the air without feeling out of place
