What does Sceptre smell like?

The opening pairs the green freshness of violet leaf with the spice of saffron and cardamom. Jasmine and iris add a soft floral heart. In the base, leather, ambroxan and vetiver take over; the scent keeps its fresh, green character while drying down earthy, smoky and leathery.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate, though the number of votes is small, so these ratings are tentative. It is positioned as a men's fragrance. Atelier des Ors Cuir Sacré and Hermès Bel Ami Vétiver have a close profile.
