A bold, leathery rose chypre with a clean, masculine aura that evokes classic 1980s powerhouses. The scent opens with citrusy bergamot and galbanum, leading into a rich, dewy rose heart accented by carnation and a spicy woody resin. The base is deep and warm—vanilla, amber, leather, and moss—giving it strong sillage and a surprisingly tenacious longevity. It carries an old-school, somewhat animalic freshness, with a hint of sweetness and earthy depth. While its original oak moss formula is gone, replaced by cinnamon and modern equivalents, the overall effect remains powerful and distinctive. Ideal for cool weather, it suits mature wearers who appreciate vintage masculinity and complex, long-lasting fragrances. The scent leans strongly masculine in character, even as some find it approachable across gender lines. It won’t suit those seeking modern, minimalist scents or who dislike rose, animalic, or old-school barbershop aesthetics.
