Lehmann's Sexy Forearms
You all know this for sure: Everyone has a quirk they’d rather not talk about. For example, the preference for liverwurst sandwiches with jam or the urge to commit murder when someone is LOUDLY eating an apple on the train or the firm belief that Toffifee should only be sucked on while sticking to the palate... Well, I think you know what I mean.
When you then hear/read that someone else has the same quirk, the joy is immense, as you clearly are not the only freak.
That’s how ‘un-freaked’ I felt when I read a column by the wonderful Meike Winnemuth. Until then, I had heard from women and gay men, when asked what they find sexy about a man, answers like humor(?), beautiful eyes, gray temples, intelligence, a nice butt, great scent... but NEVER did anyone mention sexy forearms, until now.
These are, (besides dimples) my great weakness. Specifically, those strong (not bodybuilder!) and muscular forearms with visible veins up to the back of the hand, ah!
If he has two of those, it’s even better.
These arms suggest strength and can grip. Splitting and carrying firewood without getting a tendonitis - wonderful!
Men, train your arms, hardly anyone sees a six-pack anyway, and it seems there are even more forearm voyeurs out there...
However - a little tip - they should never be displayed in short-sleeve shirts, as they kill the most beautiful forearm.
Sleeves must be rolled up or pushed up to showcase the splendor.
Now that that’s settled, let’s move on to the scent.
Russian Leather from the traditional house 'Harry Lehmann' in Berlin.
This scent comes quite exuberantly, aldehydic around the corner, presents itself with retro charm as a Chypre, and you think "Oh well", but then, it starts to roll up its sleeves in a PeepShow manner and presents its spices, herbs, and soap, risking a closer look. A gentle leather accord is added - and suddenly you’re in love!
Clear, bright, spicy, somehow down-to-earth and perfectly balanced, Russian Leather lasts for hours, only to become warm and mossy towards the end.
Despite reformulation, it’s a really great scent!
Lutz Lehmann, managing director and trained perfumer says, 'This is actually a men’s fragrance.'
That may well be, but sometimes we women have to roll up our sleeves ourselves, and by then it’s time for this wonderful scent!
Since most know the wonderful shop at Kantstraße 106 and much good has already been said about it on Parfumo - rightly so -
I’ve just attached a little video, that’s exactly how it is at Lehmann in Berlin.

But it didn’t quite suit me like it did you; however, your excellent review fits me even better!!
You love to lie in my arms,
You are so dear to my heart!
I am your whole sky,
You are my favorite star.
And, I’m more hands-on. No office hands for me; they should be able to get their hands dirty, but still well-groomed with nice nails.
And when they smell good... like Russian leather, for example.
Of course, long-sleeve shirt rolled up. No alternative. And Russian Leather is definitely my most worn scent. Hopelessly old school. For me, it's the better Knize Ten... By the way, the "Russian Cologne" is also great for in-between!
I'm a humanities scholar, so I have two backs of hands on each hand. Getting hands-on isn't my thing.
P.S.: Great. Awesome. Very nice. Trophy. Traffic light.
And this Lehmann specimen seems to be a definite hit for you :-D
All the Lehmanns are nice, genuinely honest, and super likable.
But if someone says something against short-sleeve shirts again, I'll roll up my sleeves...
People who eat bananas on the train really bother me... That slimy smacking, ugh...
I really love Lehmann and have had the chance to stroll in a few times in Berlin - back when I had less experience with perfumes.
Since the prices are unbeatable for the quality, I’ll definitely do some more testing and roll up my sleeves (you need space to test, after all ;) )
