A smoky oriental — metallic notes, whisky, praline, cacao, coal, orris, smoky leather, agarwood, iris.
An unexpected opening of cool metallic notes and warming, peaty whisky cuts through the air with a raw, almost flinty edge — bold and immediately arresting. Rich praline and cacao simmer through the heart, roughened up by mineral coal that keeps the sweetness dark and grounded rather than indulgent. Sultry raw leather, opulent agarwood and smooth iris settle into the base, creating a smouldering, slow-burning finish that lingers like the last embers of an open fire on a winter’s night. Mysterious, textured and unapologetically dramatic — a fragrance for makers who want to push boundaries.
