This dark, intense attar unfolds with a powerful initial burst of birch tar and leather, creating a volatile, kerosene-like opening that settles into a rich, smoky, woody heart. It features layers of synthetic oud, castoreum, labdanum, and sandalwood, forming a dense, leathery base with deep amber and musky undertones. The scent evolves into a plush, buttery sandalwood drydown after about four hours, with warm, resinous depth and a surprisingly airy, human quality. Its longevity is exceptional—lasting more than 35 hours on skin and up to four days on fabric—while sillage remains moderate to strong even with just a few drops. The perfume is consumed sparingly due to its potency and strength, requiring only minimal application. It feels immersive and intense, drawing comparisons to odors of ancient leather, tires, campfires, and oriental shrines, with a distinct appeal to those who enjoy powerful, dark, and evocative accords.
