The story behind the bottle.
Launched in 2017 by Zara, Tiveden is a warm and complex Oriental Woody fragrance for men. The top note of cardamom brings an aromatic freshness that cuts through the richness of sandalwood in the heart. Leather and musk form the base, creating a smoky and animalic depth that grounds the composition with earthy warmth. This fragrance stands out as a modern interpretation of traditional woody leathers, balancing crispness with depth.
Apply Tiveden sparingly — the smoky base notes take time to develop and can be overpowering if over-applied. The leather and musk blend best with a light touch, making it ideal for cooler evenings or indoor settings where its warmth feels intimate rather than overwhelming.
