Fragrance notes
Character
Birch and absinthe strike first, sharp and cool like stepping into a stone hallway where the air still holds last night's woodsmoke. Galbanum and yuzu add a green, peeling brightness that keeps the opening from feeling heavy. The citrus is brief, but it leaves a clean edge behind.
Tobacco and rose sit together in the heart, the flower softening the leaf without turning sweet. Jasmine and ylang-ylang add a faint creaminess that disappears once the base takes over. Castoreum and oud arrive with a dark, resinous weight, joined by oakmoss and vetiver. Labdanum and patchouli push the scent toward a thick, balsamic warmth that feels suited to a dim room and a wool coat.
Vanilla is present, but it stays in the background, letting the leather and smoke lead. Sandalwood rounds the edges without smoothing them away. This is for someone who wants a leather fragrance that feels rooted in resin and earth. Wear it when the sky is gray and the air bites, and when a deep, aromatic scent fits the mood.
