Opens with a sharp, citrusy lemon that cuts cleanly before the leather moves in — not a smoky or animalic leather, but a dry, almost papery Italian variety that reads more refined than raw. Iris bridges the two halves, adding a cool, slightly powdery softness that keeps the leather from feeling austere. Cedar and vetiver anchor the dry-down into a woody, earthy base with moderate projection and quiet, close-wearing sillage that lingers without announcing itself — best suited to cooler months and anyone who wants structure without aggression.
