Autumn Rhythm

I smelled this fragrance through the discovery set, and was one of the standout fragrances from it. Like its name suggests, it really does smell like an autumn walk through a forest. It has an earthy and bitter smell upon first spray that melts into something more rich, smoky, and with a hint of sweetness. The leather note is the most prominent, but it's a very smooth, buttery-leather; something like a well-worn leather jacket, versus raw, unprocessed-leather. Despite it being listed as an extrait de parfum (the highest concentration of fragrance oil), it has weak sillage, projection, and longevity. While it is easily identifiable on yourself, many people said they couldn't even tell I was wearing a fragrance when I walked by; it has virtually no scent-trail or projection. On skin, it lasts about 3-4 hours, however, on clothing it lasts all day. This could easily serve as a daytime and/or nighttime fragrance. It has very cashmere sweater/leather jacket on a crisp fall day, vibe.

This is close to Vespero, but greener and without the sharp grapefruit note. The overall feel is also softer, silkier, and more elegant. Orris smells similar to Iris but with a suedish backbone and it works wonders here while the ambrette keeps everything fresh and musky. This is excellent, and the cashmeran base just makes everything so much better than Vespero. The price tag, however is a problem for me. Hell of a scent though.

A surprisingly fresh green leather scent with earthy-woody undertones and soft soapy florals. Very vegetal, like a compost of dug-up tree roots and iris + LotV flowers. From a more aromachemical standpoint, a boatload of cashmeran smudged with green notes, soapy florals, and mate. Moderate projection for 3-4hr, longevity 8-10hr.

Definitely not for everyone. With that being said I really enjoy it. Smells like stuffy, dewy leaves in a pile on the front yard of an old house. I get the leather and green notes. Not sure about the wide range of reports, seems to react very differently to different chemistry.

This is a really nice leather and woods mix. To me this is essentially TF Tuscan Leather with the raspberry/saffron note replaced with cedar; the leather in both is very similar. I get moderate longevity on my skin, around 4-6 hours.
