Spicy, beautifully sweet leather
This is an encounter with the most beautifully spiced, sweet leather (or is it suede?). The opening is a bit surprising, a peppery ginger kick that greets your nose. Then, it settles into a very enticing soft, buttery leather (or suede?!) that is sweetly begging for your caress. Who knew sage and jasmine could have such an effect on leather, which I generally perceive as masculine and bitter? The patchouli and vanilla are soothing, loaded with amber and tenderness. I really enjoy wearing this and hope to sample more from The Gate.

Question: This is a Dubai brand, so why does it say Paris on the label?!

The spice box revealed with soft leather. Sometimes harsh, sometimes milder, warm. Pleasant, but it doesn't blow me away.
