'Clean' leather
Esquive is a leather interpretation with loads of musk. A number of variations of the musk-leather accord appear throughout the scent's lifespan. The musks chosen are of the 'clean' type, no animalics galore here.

The opening experience - to my nose - is like entering a textile workshop. Persian carpets, drycleaner musks, linnen fibers in the air. This develops into a soft leather scent. It feels warm, earthy, creamy, close to suede. In the end there is a dark brown ambrette/patchouli base.

Several stages in this show; none of which are really exciting. It all remains on the clean, gentle side. Performance is spot-on. A moderate projection that is stable for hours.

In conclusion: A bit underwhelmed. Not going to wear again.

Positive surprise
I got the scent as an addition when I ordered a sample and since the first impression on the test strip was anything but positive, I didn't pay any further attention to it for the time being. Nevertheless I gave it a second chance, tested it on the skin some time later and was surprised.
Although the idea of smelling like freshly washed is quite nice, I have had my problems with the usual candidates of the fresh laundry fraction. Too biting, artificial and deliberately fabric softener-like, I found most of them just pushy and penetrating. Even the pyramid of Esquive suggests the worst...

But on my skin it developed surprisingly beautifully. This musk is not pungent but soft and unobtrusive. The leather note is noticeable, but more like a soft and cuddly velour (real leather fans will hardly be satisfied). This is the one, however, that gives the fragrance an interesting impact and distinguishes it from the other lingerie scents. A few floral notes, although not listed, can also be perceived in the background. On the other hand, patchouli and vetiver are very reserved, a bit of a pity, maybe it would have provided more tension and depth. All in all, I can't really detect any real progression. Durability and sillage are, as far as I can judge so far, in the midfield.

Conclusion: a cuddly, cuddly and very (too) pleasing scent, which surprised me positively despite prejudices. However, it does not quite fit into my prey scheme, therefore not a candidate for me!
