Under the Stars
About
A dry, dark leather-woody scent with a spicy black pepper opening. Leather, cypriol and cedar shape the heart, while oud and warm labdanum settle into the base. It feels like a cool night walk with a focused, composed mood.
Under the Stars opens with a dry, spicy flash of black pepper that sets a dark, smoky tone from the start. As it develops, leather comes through dense and slightly rough, backed by the woody bitterness of cypriol and cedar. The base is built on oud and labdanum: resinous, warm, and amber-lit without sticky sweetness. It wears with solid longevity and leaves a noticeable trail, especially in cool air. The overall impression is a straightforward leather-woody structure with a clear evening mood. It suits wearers who prefer dry, dark, slightly austere scents over gourmand softness. Best for late outings, bars, and long walks after sunset.
