For Men

Bold, aristocratic, and drenched in vintage green elegance, Tsar is a fragrance where rugged woods, fresh herbs, and crisp citrus meet classic chypre sophistication. It’s like stepping into a forested estate at dawn—smoke rising over dew-laden grass, sunlight peeking through pine, and leather boots on old wooden floors.

Scent Story
The fragrance blooms with a crisp green opening: citrusy bergamot and lavender sharpened by herbaceous artemisia and rosemary, plus a bitter-sweet kick from coriander and neroli. At its heart, woods and florals—pine, juniper, lily-of-the-valley and carnation—richly weave into the mix, adding depth and intrigue. Finally, the base wraps it all in rugged leather, earthy oakmoss, creamy sandalwood, and warm tones of vetiver, patchouli, and musk. The result is noble, grounded, and unforgettable.

Wearability & Lifestyle
Tsar shines in cooler seasons—autumn and winter—but also makes for a powerful choice in early spring mornings. It’s perfect for formal dinners, evening events, or moments when you want to project confidence and old-world charm. Pair with tailored jackets, tweed, polished leather shoes, or dress shirts—any outfit with classic structure that complements its heritage.
