Notes: scotch, mahogany, smoke, leather

None of our fragrances are gendered. Smoke, leather, and graveyard dirt have no opinion on who’s wearing them.

Man Of Letters is for the ones who prefer ink-stained fingers over idle conversation—the kind of scent that feels deliberate, composed, and just a little intimidating.

It doesn’t try to charm everyone. It assumes you already have something worth saying. Inspired by my brother Clayton. All the scents stories writer extraordinaire.

The Story

Run your hand over the mahogany desk, and you'll feel nicks and scratches that could only have been etched by a man of letters. The desk smells like him. Over no small number of years, the nibs of his fountain pens have carved a patchwork of grooves where the aroma of sturdy wood has married with the scents of pipe smoke and spilled drink. These chambers are no place for the overly sentimental—there's work to be done and ideas to be committed to paper.

Pairings

If you like scents that lean intellectual, smoky, and a little severe—this is your match. It wears close, but it lingers with intent.

Pairs especially well with The Undertaking if you’d prefer to lean fully into more darkness.
