Cuoium • Orto Parisi

Wore this to a dinner and someone asked what I had on before I even sat down. The leather and cade wood sit close to the skin, but that animalic ambergris keeps pushing through hours later. Easily the most interesting bottle I've bought this year.

I was worried it would be too animalic, but the ambergris keeps it smooth and wearable. That leather and styrax combo lingers for a solid 8 hours on my skin, even through a workday. Easily the boldest thing in my rotation right now.

The incense and cade wood make this feel like sitting in an old church that's been converted into a leather workshop. It's heavy and animalic in the best way, and a single spray lasts me a full workday. Give it twenty minutes to settle before judging it.
