Black Jeans

The heart is a quiet floral — jasmine, iris, rose — that gives the composition its denim-soft middle, more refined than the marketing implied. The base is where the 'black' lives: tonka, leather, vetiver, cedar, and rosemary with a nutmeg curl, a slightly sweet leathered drydown that rides closer to the skin than the opening would predict.
A workmanlike late-90s men's fougère. Discontinued; bottles still circulate at thrift prices.
