Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
Of all the perfumes I own from this brand this is the one I use the least. The opening is very peculiar: rough rugged with a strong sensation of sweaty leather. The cade petrol note dominates at first giving a smoky burnt-wood and resinous profile. As it settles labdanum emerges with dirty synthetic leather that recalls paraffin or industrial rubber. From the first hour on it doesn’t change much though it softens slightly; here black pepper and myrrh appear with a green slightly amber touch but always with that background of burnt rubber or petrol. For me it’s a complex scent not for everyone. It doesn’t quite convince me although I occasionally try it for its marked character and ability to mark territory. I see it clearly as masculine ideal for cool climates with a leather jacket motorcycle tobacco and whisky. I imagine it on mature men over thirty who seek difficult almost unusual fragrances. Good longevity over eight hours with notable projection for at least three. Scent: 5.0/10 Sillage: 8.5/10 Projection: 8.5/10 Longevity: 9.0/10
I tried it via a friend and what a beast. But leather pure without additives or camouflaged notes. It’s like smelling inside a leather goods shop. It smells more like a leather item than a perfume. If you’re looking for that rugged leather accord of leather goods buy it without hesitation. In my case I’d use it more to apply on my leather jackets than as a perfume.
It’s surprising because it’s a hard rough and little-soothed beast; the opening is full-on in-your-face leather. Moreover other supporting notes aren’t easily detected as is usual: it doesn’t smell smoky nor of red fruits nor of this or that just strong leather and that’s it. The most surprising thing is that over time the leather softens and as other notes emerge it becomes a much softer scent even ending up fresh I suppose due to the cypriol. As if it had an inverted olfactory pyramid compared to normal leather compositions.
