    Description

    Memoirs of a Trespasser envelops the wearer in a richly textured tale of adventure and nostalgia. Lush Madagascar vanilla opens the fragrance with creamy smoothness, soon joined by smoky guaiac wood and haunting resins that evoke the bittersweet comfort of old libraries and fireside whisky. Subtle boozy notes and a musky sweetness conjure antique leather and weathered oak barrels, enhancing a moody, contemplative mood. The result is a resinous, woody, and deeply comforting experience ideal for autumn or intimate gatherings. Created by Josh Meyer for unisex.
