Ceylon cardamom, ginger, and cedar leaf cut through cigar smoke like silver knives, while juniper extract, gin, and red berries fizzle in crystal decanters behind the mahogany bar. Sleek cedar wood freezes chess games mid-move—‘checkmate’ whispered between confidential conversations

"I truly wanted to capture the scent of a London Vermouth. For the gin aspect, I used characteristic CO2-extracted juniper. Like a mixologist, I enhanced it with thyme, ginger, cardamome, and clove - bringing that cocktail-like peps to the perfume. The tart touch of blackcurrant and green apple lifts the note even further. To ensure it could hold on skin, amber-woody notes and cedar came to support the foundation."- Karine Vinchon Spehner
