Leather

I like this one, it's leather and yeah leather tanning chemicals and also some kind of herbal bitters. Trying it on in the colder weather it does seem more like something preserved and medicinal. But if I wear it on a hot day when I'd start sweating, then it's this much nicer leather with some dirt and fresh herbs. This is a summer one, Zoologist's Rhinoceros is a winter one! (Rhino also has a sweetness that this doesn't - I wonder if there are 'wintery' ones without that that I'd like, or 'summery' ones with it?) Also - it's very strong - a little bit of this and a lot of Demeter's 'Tomato' create an interesting effect together.

I looking for this wanting a basic, essential leather to 'bump up' the LQ (leather quotient) of some of my other frags and this one was a win for its simplicity! Whereas Riding Crop is more of a black patent leather, Saddle an oiled soapy leather, and Russian Leather has florals, this one sticks to its guns. Try layering it over one of those subpar ouds you bought a couple years ago and see what you get? Or man-up one of those sticky sweet messterpieces. (we've been Bomb-barded with A Million of em, lol)

I have this and Demeter Riding Crop -- a fabulous couple's set. This one is the slightly more masculine of the two. Both smell like expensive leather gloves or the interior of a shockingly expensive car, and all the other leather stuff that others have mentioned. I find them both somewhat aquatic, and they carry aspects of what rain in the city is like. Both are very, very sexy. Some of my favorites (top 5, maybe) from the brand, and I've been through nearly the entire library.

This smells as though you have just plopped yourself down , after a long day, into your favorite overstuffed leather chair. You can feel the initial soft whoosh of scented air as you depress the cushions and let the leather cradle you.

Watch out! Out of the sprayer it smells fish-y, like the wafts of the escalator in the stores ‘Kaufhof’ or ‘Karstadt’ here in Germany – a synthetic, industrial fish. So I'd strongly recommend to not spray this scent on clothes / items. It needs the warmth of the skin and body to show its real face, which is: Pleasant. And simple. Leather straight from the counter, noone touched it yet. It has a slight oldschool vibe, just so much that you can call it retro instead of vintage. It is a clean leather, washed hands in leather that wore a bouquet of flowers maybe hours ago. Maybe carnation. To the first schoolday of his daughter during the times of Sovjet Union. Now this father is a business man, but a fair one. He still likes to drive his car sitting on a wooden massage plaid. Happy that I baught this.
