By the editors · 2 min readExtreme Story opens on a single bergamot streak before tipping into an unusually floral heart for a leather-coded masculine. Lavender sits above peony, violet, cardamom, and rose — a bouquet, dressed up in a stiff jacket.
The base is where the title earns its keep. Leather, vetiver, patchouli, and amber pull the floral heart down into something darker and drier; the leather reads more synthetic-suede than tanned hide, but it carries the composition.
The overall arc is a designer-style floral leather worn confidently linear — bright at the start, quietly assertive after an hour, and recognisably built to echo a major house's signature.
