Earthy peat, bonfire smoke, and soot mingle with wax, dried fruits, toasted oak, and touches of lemongrass and leather.

Lush and oily mouthfeel with rich beeswax, salt spray, sweet apple, candied almonds, ashes, and subtle oak spice.
Finish
Long, warming, and slightly dry with lingering chimney ash, ginger spice, mint, and faint bittersweet chocolate.
