Oulan Bator — the Mongolian capital, gateway to the desert steppe. Beyond the city, an encampment: a herd of goats, campfires burning low, crude and supple leather steeped in tobacco and wood smoke. This fragrance is drawn from that elemental landscape — rough, unhurried, and deeply alive.
In a room, it reads as bold and quietly untamed — a fragrance that commands a space without announcing itself. Suited to an evening, a study, or anywhere that benefits from something with real character and depth.
Leather accord anchors the composition — crude, supple, and immediate. Balkan tobacco absolute adds a dark, smoky warmth beneath, while birchwood and incense introduce a resinous, campfire quality. Angelica root brings a dry, herbal edge to the heart, and ciste absolute deepens the earthiness further. Indonesian patchouli grounds everything with its characteristic dark richness, while vanilla and an ambergris accord draw the fragrance to a warm, animal-skin close.
