En Prise

$390.00

En Prise opens in an exposed position: black pepper and elemi resin announce themselves against bergamot without apology. Geranium and rose in the heart give the composition a fleeting softness before labdanum presses in and the fragrance pivots. Oud, leather, and patchouli then take the base, and what began as spiced-fresh resolves into something considerably heavier and more deliberate.

Why We Carry This

The opening accord of pepper and elemi resin is sharper than most spicy fragrances at this price are willing to be. En Prise holds that tension through the heart before the oud-leather base absorbs it.
