It opens with cumin, cardamom and red chili, giving a dry, sharp spice heat. Toward the heart, birch, Italian suede and frankincense bring in smoke, leather and resin. The base of musk, cedar and Indian oud leaves a woody, animalic depth. The oriental accord softens the spice a little, but the scent stays dark and rough-edged from start to finish. Tom Ford London and L'Artisan Parfumeur Al Oudh have a close profile.
