About

Xander opens with an intriguing, slightly green zest from cedar leaf and oregano, immediately grounded by a rich, resinous heart. Balsam, opoponax, and myrrh create a warm, almost sacred incense, swirling into deep amber. The base is all about gravitas, with a powerful blend of oud, rugged leather, and creamy sandalwood laying down a dark, captivating trail. It's intense, mysterious, and undeniably potent.
