Citrus and ylang give way to leather, moss and castoreum.
Citrus and ylang ylang open bright and slightly animalic before pepper, incense and leather build a spiced, resinous heart. Vetiver, oakmoss, labdanum, castoreum and ambergris close it dry, mossy and quietly animalic in classic seventies chypre style.
Perfumed by: John Stephen
KSI Take: This wears close to the skin rather than projecting, closer to a fifties sillage than the loud seventies chypres it is styled after, so it will disappoint anyone chasing a vintage bomb like One Man Show. It rewards patient, cool weather wear worn close to the skin, aimed at people who already collect green leather chypres rather than newcomers to the genre.
