The camphor and leather feel at home in that crisp, gray atmosphere, matching the stillness of a heavy sky.

The woody facets support this mood without ever becoming the main focus.

It suits the individual who finds comfort in the scent of a well-worn tool handle or the dry, spicy air of a greenhouse in the off-season, preferring a scent that feels
