In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

Sordid leans into a dense amber style with an animalic, woody edge.

Semi-Bespoke No. 15 opens bright and green, with citrus, basil, lavender and a fresh cut grass effect before moving into a smoother chypre base of oakmoss, vetiver, patchouli and amber. It feels refined, aromatic and quietly classic, with touches of iris, vanilla and labdanum rounding out the sharper edges.
