Composed by nose Daphné Bugey, the “woody floral spicy” scent blends bergamot with incense and pimento, with a heart of rose essence, Atlas cedar wood, Balcanic tobacco absolute and oud, with a base of leather accord, cashmere wood, gaiac wood and musk. True to the fragrance’s name, the fragrance is housed in a glossy black bottle featuring a gold logo and grooved zamak cap. The fragrance is fronted by Brazilian model Diego Miguel in a campaign shot by Mario Sorrenti. It is priced at £67.
