Top notch leather
Leather note, in my opinion, should smell like *someone wearing a leather jacket*, not the jacket itself, and in fact this is why I don't like most of the leather-forward perfumes. But this one is perfectly done -toned down leather, added greenery, and non-hippie-patchouli. There's of course some artificiality to the leather note itself but I get that in almost every leather-forward fragrances out there, so there's nothing out of the ordinary.

Hard to describe
....first of all, I like it better than its predecessor. The scent, a chypre candidate, is currently indulging in a capricious emotional rollercoaster... It starts off slightly boozy, almost like Khamrah, but instead of date and cinnamon, it’s a berry-like cognac... up to that point, it’s still fine, and suddenly it’s All Saints’ Day, I’m standing in pouring rain at the cemetery... now comes the creepy part... I actually smell damp earth, moss, and penetrating patchouli... take three... suddenly I have Angel on my skin again. The damp earthy note still lingers in the background... maybe my nose is playing tricks on me.... Angel falls into a honey pot in the DD... so the scent is interesting.

Fireplace and Snuggle Blanket..
A wonderful, soft scent, it smells of wood and a hint of leather... the lily adds something delicate...
I don't perceive the rest at all.
I can already see myself in a cabin in the woods in front of the fireplace with a hot cocoa and a snuggle blanket... it's snowing outside and the world is just right..
Definitely a candidate for my Christmas wish list.

As a man going through Hermes’ for the first time I have been taken to the classics but this has blown my mind and I need a full bottle

If you were like me thinking it would lead to a sweet leather association ; don’t be mislead. Sour heavy suede, mimicking grandma

Darker and more leathery than the original. Unisex. A bit rough, has a character. Still testing to know if I like it enough.

It has something. Woodier, bolder, denser than the EdP. Thankfully, it doesn't end like Coco Mademoiselle's aunt.
Modern chypre.

Much more vibrant than the EdP. Here with soft vintage notes. Tart berries, leather, bitter aldehydes, sour moss.

Campfire vibes! Barénia Intense starts with a fruity bitterness, never sweet, evolving into a charming autumnal wood caress. Bold!

In my tests, one of the winners! Great modern leather scent with a honey note that will soon be joining me.

The EdP is just more intense and a bit woodier and more mature. Definitely worth a sniff!
