About

Opens with an intriguing, warm spice hit of saffron and nutmeg, instantly grabbing your attention. As it settles, a smooth, rich leather takes centre stage, beautifully complemented by a soft, non-cloying rose. The base deepens dramatically with smoky incense, dark woods like guaiac and cedar, and a touch of patchouli, all wrapped in a warm amber. There's a subtle sweetness throughout that stops it from becoming too dry or heavy.
