The story

The lion, and everything it claims.

Bitter absinthe and hazelnut open unusual and faintly nutty against green bergamot. Jasmine and ylang-ylang bloom around black leather and clove. Then a heavy overdose of myrrh, opoponax and civet takes over — animalic, resinous and not remotely shy.

How it wears

Top notes greet you, the heart settles in over the first hour, and the base is what stays on skin at the end of the evening.
