It opens with juniper, pine and mandarin orange, a cool and resinous start. In the heart, galbanum, ginger and iris carry on the green and spicy tone. The base of smoky notes, ink and leather settles into a woody, earthy and slightly animalic ground.
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though few have voted. It reads neither clearly masculine nor feminine; its rough, leathery character sits comfortably as unisex. Zoologist King Cobra and Le Frag Grimmtale have a close profile.
