Scent Development and Character
A richly spiced **woody-leather** fragrance where fiery ginger, cardamom, clovebud, cinnamon leaf and saffron flare up over a heart of velvety rose, luminous jasmine sambac, supple leather and golden honey, settling into a smoky base of tobacco, ambergris, cade, Siam benzoin and Chinese cedarwood.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Best suited to evening wear and cooler weather, where its smoky spices, honey and leather feel most comfortable; apply with a light hand in warm climates or enclosed spaces. Most suitable for autumn and winter, with careful dosing in cool spring nights; generally too warm and heavy for hot summer days. Sillage is Projected to have moderately strong sillage, especially in the early spicy phase, before softening closer to the skin over time. Longevity is Estimated to offer moderate to long longevity, with the smoky resinous base and leather-tobacco accord remaining noticeable for several hours.
