The Story
The President's Hat is a bold, green chypre that feels like a walk through a damp forest after a rain. It opens with a sharp blast of galbanum and pine, then settles into a rich, earthy heart of oakmoss and patchouli. The base is warm and leathery, with a touch of honeyed tobacco. It's a complex, unapologetically green scent that demands attention.
