Opens with a sharp cardamom bite that quickly gives way to a dense, resinous oud — smoky but polished, not barnyard. Sandalwood and cedar smooth the heart into something almost creamy, while leather adds a dry, slightly animalic edge that keeps it from going soft. Amber anchors the dry-down with a warm, honeyed depth that lingers close to skin for hours.
