About

It kicks off with a spirited, fresh burst of grapefruit and cardamom, quickly melting into a refined heart where black tea and orange blossom intertwine. The base is an innovative take on leather, more suede than saddle, smoothed by cedar and patchouli. It’s a clean, almost herbal leather experience, notably lacking any harsh animalic edge from start to finish.
