Apparently, we have run away
The eyes still silver veils of gin. I shouldn't go out of the house like this. I should look at myself in the mirror. The dried dung, the moldy barks. In all that smoke, it's hardly visible and soon it will have vanished anyway. We wanted to roast juniper needles, letting them spit green sparks. It has gotten out of control. Only ashes on the old floorboards. A swamp of scorched earth and mosses. Damp and black and stewed. The wallpapers smell of cigar tobacco. The walls beneath are just wooden shadows. The leather hides were still salvageable. The rough covers of the beds. I’m not bothered by tar stains. I have them on all my jackets. Outside it might be dry. You can spot a few dark pearls licking the scorch marks from the windows, where dark brown evening light threads wander into the rooms.

Scents by Skanda, based in Massachusetts, uses high-quality, natural raw materials for their attar oils, which they produce by hand: "Skanda has a unique way of honoring the tradition of Indian Attar and marrying it with the modern imagination." The result is of high quality.
"Leather Jacket" intricately combines animal-leathery notes with dark smoke, bitter spice, and subtly woody-resinous aromas. The opening features gin-like juniper notes that transition into barnyard dung and moldy barks (Indian oud), soon disappearing into dark-stewed smoke (juniper, smoke, oud). In the heart, animal-leathery notes develop underneath: civet, birch tar-tanned leather, and a hyraceum that reminds of animal musk and spicy cigar tobacco, seeming to act as a link between civet, leather, oud, and amber, as the transitions to an earthy-swampy, slightly mossy Laos oud, a possibly wood-dry tobacco-like amber, and minimal sweet pinpoints of labdanum resins in the base are quite hazy. The impression of leather under smoldering oud chips emerges, on whose damp, black ash surface a few resin pearls and tobacco flakes shimmer, moderately to skin-close over several hours.
