About

Opens with a vibrant, zingy burst of bergamot and grapefruit, swiftly joined by a sharp kick of black pepper and fresh ginger. The heart deepens with more peppery notes, softened by neroli and a hint of rose, before settling into a sophisticated leathery-amber base lifted by the distinct, dry Akigalawood. It's a fresh, spicy, and woody composition that feels modern and clean.
