Fragrance notes
Character
Cardamom leads the opening with a bright, slightly peppery lift, joined by bergamot and lemon that keep the start clean and brisk. The spices do not bite. They sit close to the citrus and give it a dry edge rather than a sharp one. Nutmeg enters soon after, adding a rounded warmth that balances the green, resinous character of cypress. Geranium brings a faint floral touch that prevents the heart from feeling too heavy or too dry. The transition stays smooth throughout, with the spices remaining present while the greener elements take more space.
Leather defines the base, supported by cedar and tonka bean. The leather feels smooth and polished, not rough or animalic, and the cedar gives it a dry, woody structure. Tonka bean adds a soft vanilla sweetness that rounds the sharper edges without turning the blend sugary. The overall impression stays aromatic and woody, with fresh spicy and warm spicy accents that run from top to bottom. Citrus fades, but the cardamom and nutmeg carry the spicy theme into the deeper stages. Vanilla sits quietly in the background, supporting the leather and wood.
