It opens with cardamom and saffron, giving a spicy, slightly resinous start. At the heart, leather takes the lead; jasmine sambac softens it, yet the scent stays leathery and dry. The base of cedarwood, patchouli and moss sets a green, woody ground, while ambergris and animalic notes add a warm, heavy depth. Amouage Epic Man and Zoologist Tiger have a close profile.
