Pearl Leather

Remarkable! I am so eager to write a review since this fragrance makes me feel all the emotions, but I can barely put my finger on why exactly is it so good. Maybe it's the vinyl note that takes me to times when the world was less virtual and more real. I imagine smallish Italian cars, music played on a record player, dresses under the knee, family gatherings, summer breeze. I'm a kid and I've entered my wealthy uncle's room while he isn't there. It smells like vinyl because of his extensive collection, beautifully arranged on the wall behind the desk. It's a foreign world to me, I'm just visiting family for a quick vacation, coming from an entirely different place. I can feel wealth in the air and the whole house is filled with the whispers of safety and la dolce vita. I so want to stay here, to live like this. But it isn't my world and I'll leave soon. Can't wait to get a full bottle of this piece of art.

Very special. Smells like a clean crisp swimming pool with inflatables that kids ride on, with a high quality leather couch to sit on. Very happy, very special.

Super special. Story telling happening. Art.

Opens lemon-aquatic, but then a somewhat citrus bias-woodsy, vinyl note with a white leather assist shows (this is the drydown). The vinyl is a more prominent vinyl than one you would find in No Rules by Jusbox, and only somewhat dwarfed by the fleeting one in Shutter by Xyrena. I don't really dig the saffron accord since the vinyl note has already been established, but it's a personal preference. So close to being FBW, yet so far. Not really reminiscent of Scent Tattoo/Club Design as its more of a rubber-centric frag. However, the aquatic weird I was expecting from this one was already met by Dark Ride by Xyrena (mildewy, but excludes vinyl/neutral leather facets)

This is the weirdest sample I have ever tried, and the opening is completely different from what it settles down into. The opening smells like an electrical fire about to happen. So weird. I think a lot of bad reviews are based on this. But, if you put enough on and let it settle for about 15 minutes, you are now in a much better place, fragrance wise. It settles into something cozy, almost like an end of summer beach firepit. Very unique
