Scent Profile: Sterling
Olfactive Family: Amber Woody
Rugged. Self-assured. Refined.
Sterling is a smooth tobacco composition layered with leather, amber, and dark vanilla warmth.
Top Notes: Bergamot, Apple Peel, White Musk
Heart Notes: Tobacco Leaf, Lily of the Valley, Neroli
Base Notes: Smoked Vanilla, Amber, Leather, Atlas Cedar
The opening offers subtle brightness from bergamot and apple peel, softened by clean white musk. The heart brings aromatic tobacco leaf into focus, rounded by delicate florals. As it dries down, smoked vanilla, amber, and leather create warmth and depth, anchored by cedarwood.
Bold, but controlled. Warm, but never sugary.
What It Smells Like
Sterling smells like tobacco leaf drying in cool mountain air. There’s sweetness at first, but it quickly deepens into leather and ambered woods. The vanilla is smooth and smoky rather than dessert-like.
It feels sturdy and composed — a scent that projects quiet confidence.
Inspiration
Named for Mount Sterling in the mountains of North Carolina, this fragrance reflects the steady effort of climbing toward something worthwhile. It’s not flashy or loud — it’s built with patience and intention.
Like the ascent to the summit, Sterling unfolds gradually, rewarding time and attention with warmth and depth.
A fragrance that feels earned.
How It Works
Unlike antiperspirants that block sweat glands, this deodorant allows your body to sweat naturally while neutralizing odour-causing bacteria.
If you're transitioning from aluminum-based antiperspirant, your body may go through an adjustment period:
- Week 1: Minimal odour - aluminum may still be present in sweat ducts
- Week 2: Increased sweating - your body begins releasing buildup
- Week 3: Odour and sweating begin stabilizing
- Week 4: Fully adjusted - natural balance restored
Every body is different, but consistency is key.
