Scent Notes

Woody Notes, Leather

It begins with a whisper of spicy top notes that dance with delicate warmth, creating an inviting first impression. The initial spark feels refined yet approachable, setting the tone for a fragrance that knows how to command attention without demanding it. This moderate composed projection ensures you're noticed without overwhelming the room.

The middle notes reveal a creamy, woody heart that deepens the composition's sophistication. Here, warm woody accords embrace the spice with an almost comforting embrace, building the emotional core of the scent. This transition feels natural and graceful, unfolding like an effortless conversation between warmth and refinement.

As the fragrance settles, leather base notes ground the composition with understated elegance and subtle sensuality. The woody-leather interplay creates a lasting impression that spans 6–8 hours, maintaining its moderate presence throughout. This versatile profile performs beautifully year-round, with peak radiance during warmer months when the creamy warmth truly shines.

Layering with the Body Oil extends wear beautifully throughout the day. Perfect for spring and autumn occasions. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
