Unfortunately, it's no longer available. Sometimes you have to let old ghosts rest. But we perfume lovers always challenge dead scents again and again :-D
And it was a pleasure for me, my dear!.. ;)
I had to message Auphorie directly and hope they release a remake :-)
It reminds me of vintage leather chypres, but I've never smelled anything quite like it due to the details. It starts with a zesty-fresh mandarin that briefly makes me think of aldehydes. The focus is on the leather.
This leather is brittle and dust-dry, like a clay figure. It also has mineral attributes, giving the scent uniqueness. Smoky, woody vetiver adds a rough component to the leather. The spice is slightly sharp but pleasant. Even in the base, it remains dry-powdery with iris butter and wood. It gains depth from civet, coming across slightly animalic and warming.
Simply fascinating!
Thanks to Can777 for this rare fragrance experience.
