Spicy pepper, smoky leather and resinous musk: a winter armor
On paper the opening of spices and black pepper gives a sharp, biting heat that immediately leans into the heart’s dry leather and smoky incense, creating a juxtaposition of animalic firmness and aromatic ash. The pepper’s edge cuts the warm spice, while the incense adds a lingering veil of smoke, setting a bold, winter‑ready tone.
The notes suggest a base of labdanum, woody accords and musk that settles the composition into a resinous, animalic dry‑down, with the wood lending a subtle timber texture and the musk smoothing the edge of the amber‑like labdanum. This finish reinforces the warm‑spicy and smoky accords, making the fragrance feel suited to cold evenings or formal winter gatherings, and it retails at $390 for 125 ml.
A pepper‑spiced, leather‑laden scent that leans into a resinous, musky dry‑down – worth trying if you enjoy bold winter fragrances.

How it moves
You meet spices and black pepper at the door. Then the heart turns up — leather and incense — and the whole thing slows down. By evening it is labdanum, woody notes and musk, and it is better for it.
Who made it
Jacques Cavallier Belletrud composed it in 2016, for Bvlgari in Italy. Onekh takes obsidian as its inspiration and builds a dark leather accord over labdanum and spice.
