I guess the paradoxe in this perfume lies in the contrast of the warm, sunny notes of hyacinth and tuberose, and the cool cloud of smoky leather, moss and pepper that surrounds them. Like a pretty summer dress in a floral pattern, worn with a black leather jacket. It struck me as a somewhat unusual combination at first, but it's a very good perfume, suitable for spring or early autumn, when it seems to reflect the weather: warm sunshine and cool air.
The only minus for me is that the smoky leather cloud tends to outgrow the flowers and suffocate them. This usually happens a few hours after application, and can sometimes make me a little uncomfortable. The leather becomes too much, too dry. If it was the other way around, if the floral notes were allowed to really glow in all their sweet glory, with just a hint of the peppery leather underneath, it would be absolutely perfect.
