A luminous aldehydic
opening contrasts a sensual
and smoldering heart.
Luscious flowers and woods meet
sumptuous leather and musk.
CODA leaves you satisfied with a sense of balance. Rock star chic.
Top: Cypress, Eucalyptus & Mint
Heart: Ceylon, Cinnamon Bar Oil, Nutmeg & Cedarwood
Base: Amberwood, Ciste Absolute & Patchouli
CODA presents a hot and cold contrasting start with fresh minty aromatics and fizzy lemongrass. Within minutes, the cinnamon intensifies, delivering a sharp and mouth-watering experience, transforming the heart into a hotter blend, rich with fiery spices and dark woods. The bittersweetness persists into the cozy drydown, mingling with golden ambery tones, creating a soft sensual trail.
Neil –
Coda (‘rock star chic’) is a pepper/woody scent with more than a passing resemblance to Guerlain Heritage (and thus Tom Ford Noir, which was an unabashed copy of that perfume). Spicy (‘ceylan’, cinnamon bar oil and nutmeg), with a warm, ambery base and fresh top notes (cypress, eucalpytus and mint), this is one of those perfumes that quietly scream big business; a jawline for days; shoulders; dark suit. It’s actually really quite sexy, if a touch insistent and stubborn, like an ego at the bar. That does seem quite NEW YORKish though to me, I must say, and thus in keeping with the brand.
