C: Woody Leather

An initially fresh and spicy opening where mandarin and saffron meet a robust leather. Very early on, the leathery aspect becomes prominent, taking on a dark and masculine direction thanks to oud and dry, smoky woody notes. Over time, it turns softer and warmer. The leather remains present, blending with the woody and subtly smoky notes into a very pleasant finish. An exceptionally beautiful leather fragrance that particularly impresses me with its strong presence and very good longevity.

It starts with a fresh mandarin, then comes the saffron, and finally the leather. The scent is dark and noble. Over time, it becomes softer and warmer, wrapping around you like a second skin.

Scent: 10/10. Extremely masculine. Dark, smoky leather paired with fine wood and saffron. Very dominant and deep. Longevity/Sillage: Beastly. Lasts seemingly forever on the skin and fills rooms. Conclusion: Absolute top tier. Brutal price, but the quality and presence are unbeatable.
