Fragrance notes
Character
Tomato leaf smells like the stem of a garden plant snapped in half. The green is sharp and wet. Leather sits next to it, smooth and dark. Vanilla appears early, but it is not a dessert vanilla. It feels dry and resinous.
Galbanum adds a bitter edge that cuts through the sweetness. Clary sage brings a herbal touch that feels cool. Orris and iris create a powdery layer that sits between the green top and the heavy base. Sandalwood provides a creamy wood foundation.
Benzoin and tolu balsam give the blend a sticky amber feel. Labdanum pushes the scent toward an animalic warmth. Musk rounds out the bottom, keeping the leather from feeling too stiff. The aromatic accord keeps the whole composition from becoming too heavy.
The mix of green and powdery can feel busy. So many notes compete for attention at once. The vanilla and leather combination is familiar, yet the tomato leaf makes it lean in an odd direction. It is a complex wear that may overwhelm those who prefer simple, clean scents.
