In the opening, a radiant accord of powdery violet and tangy tangerine feels as fresh as a clean white shirt. Cool pink pepper and nutmeg add the silvery flash of a pair of sleek, brushed-steel cufflinks.

Brightened by a hint of jasmine – the gleam of a silk tie – the heart of the fragrance unfolds like a dark, subtly textured fabric of smooth patchouli and earthy papyrus.

Darker still, the drydown weaves cool incense, tobacco-scented Tonka bean and leather-tinged cedar wood Atlas on a base of musk and crisp, dry woods.
