How It Wears
A Signature Fragrance
Agarwood (Oud)
From the resinous knots of Aquilaria trees, agarwood emerges as a dense, dark wood with an aroma that's both earthy and sweet. Its scent is often described as woody and spicy, with hints of smoke and incense, making it one of perfumery’s most sought-after materials.
Leather
Leather is more than just an aroma; it’s a texture, a memory of old books or vintage leather goods. Its scent can be earthy and warm, sometimes tinged with the subtle smokiness of tanning processes, evoking a sense of heritage and craftsmanship.
Tonka Bean
Tonka Bean, derived from the seeds of the Dipteryx odorata tree found in South America, brings an essence of vanilla with hints of almond and caramel. Its aroma is both warm and comforting, reminiscent of rich desserts yet grounded by a subtle earthiness that lends depth to any perfume.
