버번 가죽 • 우드의 향

The cardamom and pink pepper opening is sharper than I expected, almost spicy-cold for the first twenty minutes. Then the suede and balsam resins settle in and it turns warm and smooth on my skin for hours. Wore it to dinner and kept catching it on my scarf.

The birch tar and suede drydown is what sold me — smoky but not harsh, wears close to the skin for hours. I've been reaching for it on cool evenings instead of my usual sweeter stuff.

The birch tar and suede combo smells like a worn leather jacket that's been sitting in a cedar closet, and the cardamom keeps it from going full campfire. I get about six hours before it fades to a soft sandalwood skin scent, which is honestly perfect for wearing to work.
