Opens with a clean citrus burst — bergamot and lemon that read bright but brief — before settling quickly into its real identity: a warm, resinous amber wrapped around tonka bean's soft vanilla-almond sweetness. The leather is present but polished, more suggestion than edge, while sandalwood and musk anchor a dry-down that's smooth, dense, and skin-close.
