Smoky, dry leather with a tobacco edge, and huge longevity. It commands a room without any sweetness to soften it, so save it for cold nights when you want to be noticed.
Spiced, aromatic and lightly sweet, with a calm, woody finish. Bergamot and ginger give it lift, cardamom, vetiver and lavender fill the middle, and cedar, amber and tonka settle it.

Performance
Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Leather, tobacco and woods are dense and warm: autumn and winter, with a cool spring night possible.
Occasions
A formal-event and evening scent with plenty of authority, workable for dinners, and too much for the gym.
Seasons
Ginger, cardamom and amber suit autumn, and winter is good too. Bergamot and lavender give it a way into spring.
Occasions
Calm and spiced, it suits the office, dates and casual days. It is a little too modest for a formal occasion.
