It opens with nutmeg and pink pepper up front, with mandarin softening their edge. The heart brings leather, labdanum and Somalian myrrh, and the scent turns oriental, smoky and leathery. Vetiver and sandalwood form a dry, green-tinged woody base. The overall impression is spicy and woody, with a slightly synthetic sheen. Marc-Antoine Barrois Encelade and Loewe 7 Anónimo have a close profile.
