Reviewed profile
Black pepper and incense open sharp and smoky over black tea and birch tar. Thyme and red pepper add heat, and moss with pepperwood gives a dark, dry woody base, tarry and intense throughout.

The Dry Warmth
Warm enough to be felt. Dry enough to mean it.
The warmth here is firm. It arrives unapologetic and stays put. Substance comes first, every time.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin. Where wear reports are thin, those scores rest near the middle by design, so a mid-range reading here is a statement about the evidence as much as about the scent. Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
