Collection: Rare
Estimated from notes and accords. Reviews will refine this.
Rare Carbon puts leather at the center from the first spray, edged with violet leaf, cinnamon and nutmeg for a cool floral character with dry spicy warmth. Violet and rose soften the darker heart while cedar and oud add woody depth, before amber, sandalwood and vetiver settle into a smooth, earthy base that keeps the leather rich without becoming overly heavy.
