Bergamot and black pepper give it a sharp, spicy start. In the heart, gaiac wood, geranium and leathery notes come forward, softened by ambergris. The base of benzoin, oakmoss, sandalwood and frankincense sets a resinous, earthy foundation.
Longevity and sillage are both moderate. Most voters pick spring and fall, and it leans towards daily, leisure and business wear. It reads mostly masculine and classic. Régime des Fleurs Falling Trees and Lalique Encre Noire à L'Extrême have a close profile.
