Land Of Warriors
by The Vagabond Prince
Land of Warriors by The Vagabond Prince presents a bold, dry leather scent with a strong foundation of smoky, vegetal, and animalic accords. It opens with a crisp, green-fruit infusion of pomegranate, cucumber, violet leaf, and tomato leaf, creating an initially fresh and slightly tart profile. This transitions into a dense, woody-leathery heart with prominent styrax, birch, and labdanum, evoking a worn, rich leather jacket infused with resinous smoke and herbal complexity. The drydown reveals a warm, earthy, balsamic base with notes of ambergris and castoreum adding depth and synthetic animalic undertones, resulting in a resilient, long-lasting fragrance with moderate to strong sillage. The scent leans masculine and dramatic, reminiscent of vintage masculine fragrances, particularly akin to Gucci Pour Homme or classic Drakkar Noir, though with a more nuanced and textured approach. It feels both historical and contemporary, suitable for autumn and winter wear, and uniquely evocative of a mythical warrior’s journey — from the forest to the battlefield.
