Reviewed profile
Lavender, thyme and rosemary open sharp and herbal over the smoky bite of birch, with iris and benzoin warming the base. Classic and dry, it wears its leather with restraint and a powdery finish.

Rooted. The depth speaks for itself.
Nothing here is asking for attention. The warmth runs deep and stays exactly where it belongs. What's beneath the surface is where it lives.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
