By the editors · 2 min readA saffron-bergamot opening flares hot and dry, then settles into a leather core threaded with jasmine and the soft resin of labdanum. The middle is where the perfume earns its name — there's a theatrical quality to the way the floral and the hide circle each other, neither one fully in front.
The drydown is patchouli-darkened, with sandalwood and cedar lending a finished-wood warmth rather than a green or sappy character. It's a long, slow exit.
Reads as evening wear in cool weather. Best on someone who already wears leather scents and wants one with more polish than swagger.
