Scent Development and Character

A warm woody-spicy scent that opens with cardamom and cinnamon, then turns drier and sharper with black pepper, saffron, and cumin before settling into a sweet, smoky base of tobacco, vanilla, cedar, and patchouli. The overall feel is bold, dry-leaning, and charismatic rather than soft or airy.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best in autumn and winter. Sillage is Moderate to strong sillage with a noticeable aura. Longevity is Long-lasting; typically expected to wear around 7-9 hours on skin.
