About

Opens with an elegant sweep of amber, quickly joined by the earthiness of patchouli. A distinct, almost smoky guaiac wood provides a touch of dry warmth, lending a refined, slightly aged feel. The composition settles into a suede-like finish, rich and comforting, with a subtle woody undercurrent that persists long after the initial spray.
