A rich, spicy leather with a piquant, dark tobacco. ...
The tobacco pouch of a saffron and pepper merchant, the supple but strong leather of a book binder…. These two men are constantly vying for the attention of a vivacious and provocative, spicy skinned dancer who wears red carnations in her hair.
A fair amount of citrus and some lovely clary sage in the opening, then the lively carnation comes forward. Within an hour it’s settled into a spicy leather with a piquant, dark tobacco. All on a subtle base of resins, vanilla, beeswax and a little wood. This is a rich and complex perfume but the considerable peppery spices and zests keep it energetic. Just fantastic.
