The story

The gladiator's wooden sword.

Red wine and dried fruit open boozy and dark over bergamot. Rose and geranium meet clove and saffron in a heart that turns metallic. Leather, incense and vetiver make the base raw and smoky. Brutal in places, and not built to please everyone.

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.
