Al Ameed

The clary sage emerges first with an almost mineral dryness, immediately challenged by a snappy mandarin that feels less sweet than zesty, almost green with citral bite. Within moments, you notice the pepper beginning its ascent, already complicating the narrative.

The pineapple appears not as tropical sweetness but as something sharper—candied, almost vinegary—whilst the pepper reaches its zenith, creating a genuinely unusual spiced-fruit accords. The leather begins its whisper from below, adding an animalic undertone that transforms the entire composition into something substantially more complex.

The leather and musk settle into the foreground whilst the spice mellows into a warm, peppery hum that refuses to disappear entirely. You're left with an aroma-like quality—leather-forward but never fully abandoning its citrus-spice skeleton, creating a skin scent that smells less like fragrance and more like an intimate second layer of clothing.
