Is this fragrance suitable for office wear?+−
Given its spicy, smoky nature and strong resinous accords, this scent is better suited for leisure time, evening dinners, or formal events. Its density can feel heavy in a shared professional environment.
How does the leather note behave in this composition?+−
The leather here is smoky and textured rather than smooth or soapy. It is bolstered by styrax and frankincense, giving it a slightly balsamic and rugged quality that is eventually softened by tonka bean and benzoin.
Is this a safe blind buy?+−
Due to the presence of whisky, heavy resins, and animalic styrax, this is a complex fragrance that may be polarizing. It is recommended for those who already enjoy bold, leathery, or "dark" scents rather than those seeking something light or fresh.
Can this be worn in the summertime?+−
Most users find the sweet, smoky, and spicy profile much too heavy for high heat. It is almost exclusively recommended for the cooler temperatures of autumn and winter to allow the notes to breathe properly.
