Fragrance structure
How it develops
It opens sharp and bitter-bright: mandarin and bergamot cut with petitgrain, whose green, twiggy edge stops the citrus from reading as simple cologne cheer. That top burns hot and fades quickly. Underneath, patchouli rises earthy and dark while tonka softens it into a warm, almond-sweet blur. The final stretch is where it settles for good — leather and amber over resins and dry wood, the citrus long gone and the whole thing turned suave and heavy.
