Fragrance notes
Character
Birch and plum open the composition with a cool, dark fruitiness that feels more like a forest floor than a fruit bowl. The dried plum adds a wrinkled, concentrated depth that saffron brightens without turning gaudy. Geranium and citron provide a brief herbal lift before the heart notes take hold.
Tobacco and carnation bring a powdery, dried-flower warmth that sits close to the skin, while patchouli and vetiver ground the blend with an earthy density. Incense and black pepper introduce a dry heat, and the cedar and sandalwood feel like polished wood rather than fresh timber. Rose is present but muted, acting as a soft backdrop for the leather that dominates the base. Peru balsam and beeswax lend a golden, resinous weight that keeps the scent anchored to the fabric it touches.
Castoreum and styrax push the scent into an animalic territory that feels appropriate for a dimly lit room with heavy curtains drawn against the cold. Tonka bean and musk soften the edges of the oakmoss and cashmere wood, creating a trail that stays within a personal radius. The overall impression is one of a well-worn leather armchair in a library filled with old books and burning wax.
