The notes read as one whole: oakmoss, mushrooms, soil and leaves suggest a damp forest floor. Hinoki cypress, oud and black spruce give it a woody frame, while black leather and smoke pull it towards a darker, animalic and spicy character. There is nothing sweet or fresh about it; it is dry, serious and natural in feel. Maison Alhambra The Serpent and Hermès Agar Ébène have a close profile.
