Best Seasons

Best For:
Fall Winter
Also Works:
Spring

Best for cool nights and autumnal or winter wear thanks to the dense leather, oud, and resinous base. The spicy opening is slightly invigorating but the richness is too much for hot days.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

The smoky-leather and oud core is too assertive for sport or most offices, but feels alluring and enveloping for evening dates or formal occasions in the cold.

About

Under the Stars Eau de Toilette conjures the hypnotic comfort of a campfire beneath a midnight sky. Black pepper and cinnamon leaf spark a spicy opening before succumbing to a dense, smoky core of leather, oud, and resinous labdanum. The scent is animalic and slightly sweetened by amber, with cypriol and cedar adding woody texture. Its richness and darkness linger close to the skin, radiating an aura of mystery and introspection. A unique, modern take on smoky woods and leather that feels both primal and refined.
