Opens with a cool, powdery iris that immediately reads as skin-close and slightly dusty, lifted by a whisper of cardamom that keeps it from feeling stale. The heart stays firmly iris-forward — cosmetic, almost lipstick-like — while cedar adds a dry structural backbone. Leather barely registers as leather; it's more of a soft, animalic warmth that prevents the powder from turning soapy. Dry-down is smooth ambroxan and quiet vetiver, projecting softly and staying tight to skin for hours — a low-sillage signature rather than a room-filler — Autumn and winter office wear for men comfortable stepping outside gender conventions.
