How It Evolves

The fragrance opens with a bright burst of pink pepper that immediately awakens the senses, sharp and energizing. As it settles, the heart reveals rich leather intertwined with earthy oakmoss and a mysterious, intriguing accord that adds depth and character. The dry-down transitions into warm, resinous base of cedarwood, patchouli, and oud, creating a smooth, long-lasting finish that feels both grounded and luxurious.

Inspiration for When to Wear

A wonderful choice for evening gatherings, date nights, cooler weather outings, or any time you want to make a memorable impression.

Who Might Love This

This scent speaks to those who appreciate bold, unconventional fragrances with depth and character, and who aren't afraid to stand out.

Layering Suggestions

This bold composition pairs beautifully with lighter, fresh scents to soften its intensity while maintaining complexity. Consider pairing with vanilla-based or amber fragrances to enhance warmth, or juxtapose with crisp citrus to create intriguing contrast. The key is balancing the rich leather and woody notes with complementary textures—allow your intuition to guide you toward combinations that feel uniquely yours.

Application Tips

For optimal performance, apply to pulse points where warmth naturally enhances diffusion—wrists, neck, and behind the ears work beautifully. Given the fragrance's bold character and moderate projection, 2-3 sprays are typically sufficient to create presence without overwhelming. A light mist on hair or clothing can extend the experience throughout the day, allowing the scent to evolve gracefully with your movements.
