How it moves
Up top: cardamom, iris and violet. Enjoy them; they will not stay. Ambrox and papyrus are where it actually lives. Last to go: sandalwood, cedar and leather.
What wearers say
3.75 out of 5 from 13,100 ratings.
- Instantly recognizable for its dry, smoky sandalwood-and-leather with a spicy cardamom-violet twist; described as unisex and hip.
- Performance draws mixed reviews, with decent longevity but often soft projection that some feel is underwhelming for the cost.
- Seen as a trendy, versatile signature scent, though critics call it overexposed, expensive, and a bit thin or 'hand-sanitizer' dry.
Who made it
Frank Voelkl composed it in 2011, for Le Labo in United States. A New York cult phenomenon — the dry sandalwood-leather that became the unofficial scent of hotels, boutiques and a whole decade.
