Few Flowers on Much Leather-Tar
I really enjoy something darker nowadays. Not that I have sworn off my gourmands and other sweet fragrances, but the nose changes, and every now and then, you want to feel like a man. Isn't a Russian leather scent just what you need? Partially.
1st Third: dark leather couch, black tar & tea, rubber tire smoke, birch tar, masculine and rough
2nd Third: light flowers, partly feminine powder effects behind the black leather
3rd Third: dark patchouli body cream
(All 3 parts blend into each other and sometimes run parallel!)
Bottle: heavy, elegant, and handy. Plus, it's robust and the flip-top cap is a highlight.
Sillage: not a screaming leather scent but also not a whispering one. The golden mean.
Longevity: 8-10 hours.
Unfortunately, I haven't smelled the original Russian leather yet. The local interpretation, with floral kisses here and there, is certainly more modern and daring, less rough. Unfortunately, this somewhat leaves expectations unfulfilled, as Mon Cuir often thrives on these contrasts. On my skin, however, the scent can definitely still be categorized as a leather scent and at times even quite grim. Definitely in the upper, qualitative leather scent third for me.
