Clemency

The fragrance opens with a green-floral blast (linden, green watery rose and cassis)... It starts sweet-ish and sparkling with a remarkably classic, sort of leathery-chyprey vibe but it rapidly turns into an hyper-modern dry sandalwood with milky facets and sharp woody-incensey undertones. It's actually pretty stunning how the fragrance transitions from a sparkling and sort of transparent opening to the opaque-milky woody drydown.. As usual with H&G, the fragrance plays several mainstream-oriented accords while Laudamiel's treatment provides a solid quirky twist. Not as striking and unconventional as Skarb yet pretty satisfying. Fans of high quality synth-woods, take note. Words of caution: gross on paper. Smells like full fat milk. On skin, on the other hand, the milky aspect gets brutally tamed down and serves as a necessary counterpart to soften the sharp woody notes creating an interesting juxtaposition. Rating: 7/10

Impressive,weird,sophisticated and powerful! At the beginning is very strong with the leather immediately notice out,over time becomes beautifully floral with rose accents... there's also something woody! a special perfume for special occasions, the sillage is above average, very good longevity...nice!! Sillage: 8./10 Longevity: 8./10 Scent: 8.5/10 Overall: 8.5/10

I agree with donniekaterina on this fragrance being beautifully weird. It is! On applying the cassis and leather are most prominent but after a while these two settle and there comes a very nice blend. The milk and linden starts to rise... I chose this frag to test because I love all the notes except I was not too sure about the cassis. I must tell that this one is beautifully composed , I adore it. I think the picture above is showing what it is...there is the warmth of love but this love is not a spoiling one. This love is controlled to be able to help and guide the ones we care for.

That is beautifully weird.It's spicy and peppery not too strong cause of the presence of milk which lighten the strong notes of coriander and cassis.I like how rose blends with spices.The relationship of the ingredients are harmonious.It could be a better and lighter version of Rose poivree by The Different Company.

In the opening, I detected the linden blossom, cassis, and milk. As the heart emerged, it became slightly soapy and the linden blossom seemed to intensify, while the leather note slowly crept in. It seemed like the scent was really evolving. Now that the base has developed, it is all rose and leather (which smells like "oily leather" on me). Very unappealing on my skin chemistry!
