Let's ignore the title for a moment, but somehow it fits the scent. I received this fragrance as a sample while searching for a leather scent. Thanks to the lovely Parfuma.
To describe it briefly: the scent reminds me of a honey ball enveloped in balsam-coated, rough leather. Peach? I can't really perceive it, or I don't know what peach smells like in perfume. I find it complex; I can't pick out individual notes. Therefore, I will focus more on what a bomb this fragrance is.
The description will be factual. That doesn't mean the scent doesn't paint pictures in the mind.
From the very first sniff, I knew that this fragrance had to be in my collection sooner or later. Such a potent, delicious, sweet yet rough leather scent. Unisex? Definitely. Did I have to share this fragrance with you? DEFINITELY!
From receiving the sample to the end of the sharing. The sample sat on my desk the whole time. An arm's length away from me and closed. Yet, a dull, sweet, and slightly spicy cloud would tickle my nose every now and then. Directly on the skin, it can be overwhelming, but the subtle scent cloud plays with you. I haven't consciously sprayed the fragrance yet. First, the decanting before I focus on the scent. I peel off the foil, and already a fine scent cloud greets me. :D The fragrance was not sprayed!
After I finished with the decanting, someone walked on the other side of the apartment and already perceived the scent very strongly. The decanting was done with a syringe without losing a drop. I will leave this person's opinion on the fragrance aside.
Then came the best surprise for me. Even with the sample, I thought to myself that this scent can only be worn in the deepest winter, so strong is the fragrance. I would have liked just a mini sprayer; I want the subtlety I had at my desk with my sample. I want the scent to play with me. I thought that even with the decants.
And then I applied the fragrance and fell in love with it and Francesca all over again. The sprayer is divine. :D I've never experienced such a light spray mist from a bottle. It actually makes sense for an extrait. Still, I was surprised.
Scent: complex, delicious, with very strong H+S
Sprayer: light scent mist
Bottle+Design: Exactly my taste. Simple, lets the fragrance speak, and is still stylish.
