I had saved Brun Sicilien as the last scent from Scent On Canvas, being a leather enthusiast (also with Sicilian roots), as I thought it might suit me best... and it turned out to be true.
BS is a muted leather scent that also has a slightly floral, citrusy, and creamy quality. Leather is not dominant, yet it remains the centerpiece of the fragrance. What’s nice is that this scent reminds me of neither Cuir d'Ange by Hermes nor any other trendy leather fragrance, and it comes across as pleasantly unique. No one really needed another Tuscan Leather clone. Framed by the bright, floral notes and creamy patchouli, the Argentinian leather (?) (because of Gaucho?^^) appears lighter, softer, and even more synthetic than black suede. More like beige synthetic leather, which I can still live with. Daim Blond also comes to mind, which radiated a similar vibe and I liked very much as well.
Longevity: 6-8 hours is almost standard.
Sillage: a trademark - never expansive, more on the body-close side.
Conclusion: the scent from Scent On Canvas that suits me best and that I like the most! An Italian leather fragrance that doesn’t need to hide from its competition, even though it clearly falls short against the new Hermes leather scent.
Overall, a good performance from the brand, with only one miss against 3 good to very good fragrances + the bolder experiment Noir de Mars!
