How it was built

At 24% this is an extrait, and it behaves like one: it sits close to the skin for the first hour and only opens as it warms. The leather is built from saffron and castoreum rather than a single accord, which is why it reads as hide and not as a jacket.

The oud is a small fraction of the formula. Used heavier it flattens the pepper, and the pepper is the reason this composition works.
