Opening is a blast of spices, aromatics, a sweetness from fig, spicy green from Cistus and patchouli, and to my nose, leather and tobacco. The tobacco notion could be the vetiver mixing with other notes tho.

It's like a sweeter Blazing Mr Sam for a minute.

The balsamic smoothness coming from the vanilla, and sandalwood? Soften the edges of the spices.

The slightly bitter note of tea adds contrast.

As it dries down the fig becomes more apparent. I usually find fig too cloyingly sweet but it's really nice here.

A few hours in and it's mostly a soft sweet fig. Almost like a body lotion. I wish the spices etc lasted longer.

A really beautiful scent regardless.
