By the editors · 2 min readLeather opens with a bold, tannic sharpness that is immediately tempered by a bright citrus lift from lemon and bergamot, creating a contrasting aromatic freshness. Raspberry adds a subtle fruity tartness that quickly recedes as sage and thyme introduce a dry, herbal greenness into the heart, layered over earthy patchouli and cedar. Labdanum and amber form a rich, balsamic base that blends with tonka bean's vanillic sweetness to create a warm, resinous dry-down that deeply anchors the scent. Development is complex, moving from a sharp leather-citrus opening to a herbal-woody mid and finally a sweet, ambery finish that lasts over twelve hours. Projection is strong initially, filling a room before settling to a moderate sillage ideal for evening or formal wear in cold weather.
