Bergamot and Grapefruit over a leather base.
Bergamot and Leather for year-round wear.
Risala Elite Genesis Alpha opens bold and smoky, leading with Bergamot, Grapefruit and Pink Pepper for its first impression on the skin. It softens into a heart of Cinnamon, Paprika and Pimento, the character that carries it through the middle hours. It rests on a base of Leather, Tobacco and Vetiver, the lingering trail it leaves behind.
Wearers consistently describe Risala Elite Genesis Alpha as a leather scent defined by bergamot, grapefruit and pink pepper. The leather and tobacco base draws the most mentions for the impression it leaves.

Risala Elite Genesis Alpha opens with Bergamot, Grapefruit and Pink Pepper, moves through a heart of Cinnamon, Paprika and Pimento, and settles on Leather, Tobacco and Vetiver. Overall it reads as a leather fragrance.
Expect around 10 hours of wear, with strong sillage and above average projection that settles closer to the skin over time.
Yes — its leather profile suits year-round wear, both daytime and evening depending on the occasion.
Top: Bergamot, Grapefruit and Pink Pepper. Heart: Cinnamon, Paprika and Pimento. Base: Leather, Tobacco and Vetiver.
It works as a versatile signature; its strong sillage keeps it appropriate for both casual and dressed settings.
Projection is above average in the opening hours, driven by its Leather, Tobacco and Vetiver foundation, before it softens to a skin scent.
