Fragrance notes
Character
Ginger, coriander, and cardamom open with a bright, peppery heat that feels like stepping into a bustling spice market at dawn. The initial impression is dry and invigorating, a sharp contrast to the heavy woods waiting beneath. Suede enters smoothly, wrapping the spices in a material that feels worn and expensive. Tonka bean and vanilla bean add a creamy sweetness that prevents the leather from becoming too austere.
Oud and sandalwood form a deep, resinous foundation that anchors the entire composition. Vetiver contributes an earthy, root-like quality that keeps the richness grounded. The blend feels warm and enveloping, like a heavy wool coat on a crisp morning walk through fallen leaves. It carries a powdery, musky softness that lingers in the air, creating a scent bubble that feels both protective and refined.
Carlos Benaïm composed a scent that captures the spirit of a cool evening in a vibrant city. It is a natural companion for a rider adjusting their gloves before a match or someone enjoying a quiet coffee in a dimly lit cafe. Wear it when the air turns cool and the sky turns grey, as the spices and leather feel most at home against a backdrop of changing seasons.
