I'm trying this perfume today and I've found a very rich leather note. For me, the perfume has two distinct parts. The first part, from the opening to about halfway through the dry-down, lasts for around two hours. While the leather is present from the beginning as the unifying note, the patchouli blend with citrus and violet leaves is more prominent, giving a woody, slightly fresh, and even a touch of greenness. There's also a hint of sweetness and fruitiness. Before seeing the notes, I thought it was mango or peach, but it's listed as raspberry, so it must be the sensation produced by the raspberry blend with the other notes. After the first couple of hours, the leather takes center stage, becoming the main note. It's not a harsh or intense leather; it's a soft, easy-to-wear leather, not very animalic, with earthy nuances (likely from the combination with cypriol) and a slightly smoky undertone, reminiscent of the feel of soft suede. Let's say it's more similar to Tuscan Leather than to Ombre Leather, although the fragrance doesn't really resemble either of them to me. It's very unique and goes in a different direction. I think it's a leather fragrance that could appeal to people who aren't particularly fond of those accords, as it's not usually something that draws my attention. However, in this case, the way it's crafted and combined here makes it very pleasant and wearable. I think it's another interesting offering from the Italian brand.
