By the editors · 2 min readLeather opens first, matte and petrol-touched, riding a bright neroli-bergamot flash that keeps the hide from turning heavy. Within minutes benzoin and patchouli arrive, folding the citrus into a warm, bittersweet resin while caramel melts underneath, giving the leather a soft, burnt-sugar flex rather than sugar-shop sweetness. The heart remains leathery, but the texture shifts from rugged to lacquered as sandalalwood and ambergris rise, adding salt-cream skin and a dry, milky wood that blunts the earlier tar. Dry-down is close-wearing leather polished with benzoin’s vanilla edge and a cool mineral wash from ambergris, projecting a calm, bittersweet skin scent for six hours. Cool evenings, smart-casual settings, fall through early spring.
