Fragrance notes
Character
Pomelo and saffron open this scent with a sharp, citrusy heat that feels immediate and unpolished. The pomelo brings a bright, tart edge that cuts through the heavy spice, while the saffron adds a dry, metallic warmth. It is not a smooth introduction. The fruit and the spice clash in a way that feels raw, creating a scent that is loud before it settles into anything resembling a shape.
Leather and rose take over and pull the fragrance in a darker direction. The leather here is dry and slightly bitter, lacking the softness found in more expensive compositions. Black violet circles underneath, adding a powdery, floral weight that keeps the leather from feeling too dry. The raspberry in the base tries to add a touch of sugar, but it stays in the background, unable to fully soften the rugged, aromatic woods and vetiver that anchor the dry down.
This is a fragrance for someone who enjoys a leather scent that does not try to be refined or overly polished. It suits cooler evenings when you want a bold, aromatic profile that stands apart from clean, soapy options. If you prefer your florals sweet and your spices rounded, this sharp mixture of fruit and hide will feel too aggressive for your collection.
