The top notes are cardamom and violet leaf: a spicy, faintly green and dry start. In the heart, maté and suede come forward and give the scent a soft, leathery character. At the base, tobacco and gaiac wood lay down a woody, lightly smoky floor. The accords are spicy, woody and leathery, so it reads dry and warm rather than sweet. Its profile is close to Nomaterra Brooklyn Violet Leaf and L'Bel Le Tempo.
