A rooftop bar in late September, the city still holding the day's heat, a jacket thrown over one shoulder. This is the smell of that hour. The opening is bright and clean, mandarin orange and bergamot cut with a stem-snap of green notes. Warmth arrives fast: pepper and cardamom spike the heart, softened by a haze of flowers. What lingers is the good part, vanilla smoothed over guaiac wood and sandalwood, with musk and amber holding it against the skin. For the man who wears the same jacket everywhere and still gets asked what he has on. Best from late afternoon into the night. Carries a generous trail before it banks into an 8-10 hour ember. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum with 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on commutes, catch-ups, and the ordinary days worth smelling good for. Made for our Fall selection.
