VIP Collection No. 5
Fragrance notes
Character
The leather here is a bit rough around the edges. It carries a dry, almost dusty texture that can feel more like old upholstery than a refined hide. For those who want a smooth, polished finish, this composition might come across as too abrasive. The thyme in the base adds a scratchy, herbal edge that does not always sit comfortably with the softer elements trying to emerge.
Mandarin orange provides a bright, sunny flash at the start, cutting through the heavier accords with a juicy clarity. Saffron weaves through this citrus, lending a warm, metallic glow that feels appropriate for a bright morning. The lotus and jasmine offer a clean, watery floral touch, though they often get overshadowed by the persistent woody and animalic tones. Tonka bean tries to sweeten the mix, but the smoky accord keeps things grounded in a rugged space.
You can picture this scent in a sunlit courtyard where warm stone meets dry air. The aroma feels active and outdoors, matching a pace that moves through open spaces. It suits someone who enjoys a leather that shows its teeth rather than one that whispers. The blend of citrus and spice creates a specific kind of heat, one that sits close to the skin while the environment around it stays bright and exposed, full of light
