What it smells like
The Scent File profile
Lavender and cardamom hit first — clean but spiced, with neroli keeping the opening from going too heavy too fast. The heart is where it earns its keep: cocoa and rum settle over leather into something genuinely warm and indulgent without tipping into candy. Patchouli grounds it while vanilla and tonka push it firmly into gourmand oriental territory. Projection is moderate, sillage intimate after a couple of hours, leaving a soft leather-cocoa skin scent that lingers for hours — made for cold evenings, date nights, anyone who wants to smell expensive without effort.
