Fragrance notes
Character
A cherry that has been left out in the damp night air starts this scent, joined by strawberry that feels more like juice than fruit. The opening is bright but it does not stay light. Jasmine sambac and monoi oil pull the fruit into something tropical and heavy, while burnt sugar and almond press the sweetness into a thick, warm center. The transition moves quickly from playful to serious, and the heart of the fragrance feels dense rather than airy.
Leather and cashmere wood take over with a dry, textured weight that changes the mood completely. Vanilla sits underneath to keep the earlier sugar from disappearing, but the leather is the clear focus here. This is for someone who wants a fruity perfume that does not apologize for being bold and a little rough around the edges. The marine accord in the record adds a cool, damp trace that stops the leather and cherry from becoming too dry, creating a contrast that feels intentional rather than accidental.
Wear it when the air is cool and the streetlights are reflecting off wet pavement, because the mix of cherry, leather, and that aquatic hint feels at home in a city after the sun goes down. The person who usually reaches for clean citrus or soft florals will find this too messy and too dark for their taste. It asks for a jacket and a crowded sidewalk where the scent can sit close to the skin while the night goes on and the leather keeps pulling against the sweet
