What it smells like
Bergamot lifts the opening with a cool, citrus-green brightness before cardamom and a chalky, powdery iris take over in the heart — dry and slightly austere, not sweet. The leather arrives gradually, more suggestion than statement, anchoring the iris without overwhelming it. The dry-down settles into warm amber and sandalwood with a creamy musk underneath, the whole thing becoming closer and more skin-like over time. Projection is moderate; sillage is polished rather than loud — an office-ready cool-weather masculine for someone who wants structure without aggression.
