Black pepper hits first, sharp and bright against the cold air outside a lit window. Bergamot lifts the spice into something clearer, while cardamom adds a warm, slightly resinous layer that keeps the opening from feeling thin. It is a crisp entrance that suggests a street at night and a coat just pulled tight.

Orange blossom and rose soon follow, but they do not sit alone. Leather moves in beside them, giving the flowers a slightly worn, lived-in surface. The heart feels tactile rather than pretty, with the white floral accord sitting close to the skin and the animalic edge humming underneath the petals.
