About

Opens with a potent, almost shocking blast of realistic, slightly green raspberry, perfectly balanced by a herbaceous thyme. This vibrant start quickly mellows into a luxurious, warm leather and supple suede base, underscored by a touch of smoky frankincense and a whisper of night-blooming jasmine that adds an intriguing depth to the animalic heart.
