Opens with a sharp, almost medicinal lavender cut through with bitter almond — sweet but never edible. Within minutes, the leather moves in and owns the composition: dry, smoky, and slightly animalic rather than polished or saddle-like. Clary sage adds an herbal edge that keeps the leather from going soft. The dry-down is where tonka and amber arrive, softening the whole thing into a warm, skin-close haze with just enough sweetness to feel luxurious. Projection is bold in the first hour, then retreats into a tight, intimate sillage — — Fall evenings out, confident wear for anyone who leans into darkness over sweetness.
Close to F***ing Fabulous after maceration, but the opening is more alcoholic and the drydown loses some of the original's leathery smoothness.
