How it moves

It arrives on mandarin orange, bergamot, lavender and hawthorn — bright, immediate, gone before you have decided about it. Violet leaf, nutmeg, cedar and carnation are where it actually lives. What is left hours later is leather, vetiver, musk and amber, and that is the part people follow you for.

  • Celebrated as a bold, unique masculine with a distinctive gasoline-like violet-leaf opening that mellows into a warm leather base.
  • Reviewers note the modern reformulation feels tamer, with the fuel accord dialed back and softer overall projection.
  • Polarizing but iconic; fans love its retro character while others find the sharp opening challenging to wear.
