A marble washroom in an old hotel, hot towels, shaving soap, and something animal running underneath all of it. Aldehydes and Bergamot open soapy and bright, with Coriander, Clary Sage and Artemisia bringing a bitter herbal snap. The middle is dense and old-school, Carnation and Cinnamon spicing Jasmine, Geranium and Lavender while Orris Root, Patchouli and Vetiver darken it. The base is the legend, Civet, Leather, Honey and Oakmoss with Amber, Musk, Tonka Bean and Vanilla keeping it warm. For signing tables and the quiet authority of a well-cut suit. Cold weather, evening, one spray and no more. Holds a measured presence before settling into 6-8 hours on the skin. 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 opening nights, private dinners, and the kind of evenings that live in memory. Made for our Fall selection.
