Iris and cocoa held over a smouldering fire.
Black pepper, coriander and geranium open sharp, orris and Peru balsam bring a cocoa tinged powder, and sandalwood, patchouli and a burning wood accord finish it dry and smoky.
Perfumed by: Nathalie Lorson, Olivier Cresp
KSI Take: The strongest of the Gentleman flankers, and the smoke stops the iris turning cosmetic. That sharp geranium opening needs a few minutes to resolve, and the whole thing wears better in cold air.
