By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly, a brief lift that fades almost as quickly as it appears. Violet leaf brings a green, slightly cucumber-cool freshness into the heart, and orange blossom warms it from below with a soft, slightly honeyed white-floral glow.
The base is essentially one note — suede — rendered smooth and skin-warm rather than rugged, with a dry, brushed texture that feels close and personal. Development is minimal: the green opening melts into the floral, the floral melts into the suede, and the suede stays put. Projection is intimate from the start, sillage low, longevity moderate. The whole reads as a quiet study in soft-leather elegance, more sketch than statement, with the violet-leaf greenness providing the only real tension.
Overall: restrained, refined, unmistakably leather-led.
