Stercus Extrait

The Story
Stercus is a bold, animalic fragrance that captures the raw essence of nature. It opens with a blast of cumin and black pepper, then settles into a rich, leathery heart with hints of tobacco. The base is a deep, dirty blend of castoreum, musk, and woods. This is not for the faint of heart—it's a statement of primal power.
