Real talk
Civet is a signature element here, and the cumin and styrax smoke add a distinctive character that divides opinion. Either you're drawn to that raw, animalic skin scent into the drydown.Cuir Mauresque
The leather-and-castoreum combination is the real thing here. Old-world. A little animal. That said, the citrus and clove heart keeps it from becoming a wallflower.Knize Ten
