SIDE EFFECT

The bar is nearly empty by the time the bottle of dark rum comes out, someone cracks a cigar box, and the air turns warm with spice before a single glass is poured.

It opens on that exact moment: rum gone dark and syrupy, tobacco leaf still holding its ember-warmth, and cinnamon stirred through like a swizzle stick. The heart settles into something quieter, saffron lending its dry, leathery glow while hedione keeps the whole thing luminous instead of heavy. Sandalwood closes it out low and creamy, the last pour of the night.

Built for the person who runs a room without raising their voice, worn on cold-weather nights out, low-lit dinners, or anywhere the conversation is expected to run long. Poured as an Extrait de Parfum at 30% oils, it carries an 8-10 hour trail so it's still there when the night is.

Fills a room early, then holds warm against the skin across an 8-10 hour wear. Hand-poured in small batches in Richardson, TX as an Extrait de Parfum, 30% fragrance oils versus the 15-20% typical of an Eau de Parfum, so a little goes a long way. Reach for it on commutes, catch-ups, and the ordinary days worth smelling good for. Explore more from our Oriental collection.
