First scent impression:

Structure: Pyramidal (Half Linear)

Scent development:
The top note starts with a slightly fruity grapefruit note, which is immediately accompanied by a warm spice and a broad and intense leather note from the base.

In the heart note, aromatic notes play a central role. To lighten it up, a hint of hay-like lavender is sprinkled in, but the main aromas are the warming spices like nutmeg and cardamom, which are masterfully woven with the intense leather base. Patchouli can also be sensed, adding fullness, a mystical-elegant touch, and a distinct earthiness to the composition, which does not come across as cool and damp but rather warm and dry. The prominent leather note of the base runs through the entire scent journey, as it is (as it should be) majestically at the center of the composition, supported and embraced by all other notes to give it a bubbling fullness and facets.

In the base, warm wood notes emerge, with only the outlines of cedar and sandalwood discernible, while vetiver contributes its dry-earthiness, all enveloped by a modern-animalic and softly powdery musk blanket. The leather itself seems almost heated and projects an expansive aura.

Overall, it is a very modern and aromatic leather accord that plays the lead role here, underpinned by distinctly earthy tones, flanked by soothing spices, interwoven with an ambered but not classically oriental warmth, and wrapped in an animalic, slightly powdery musk that is complemented by noble woods.
Moreover, it seems that a dark violet is hidden somewhere, which bestows the leather with a raw elegance, giving the entire composition that special something.

PS: The notes above are not entirely correct. The top notes do not match at all with what one smells, as the scent is not fruity at all! I had copied the notes from the press release of Aigner back then. These seem to be from Fragrantica, which I have also pointed out to them. Here are the notes from the press release:

Top: Bergamot, Grapefruit, Ginger
Heart: Nutmeg, Cardamom, Pepper, Lavender, Patchouli
Base: Sandalwood, Cedarwood, Vetiver, Musk, Leather
