Description "PLAIN TRAGEDY OF EXISTENCE: DRAWN ON NOTES OF VIOLETTE LEAF AND LILY OF THE VALLEY AND GROUNDED BY CLEARWOOD AND INCENSE PYROGENEE, THE INNOCENT MOMENT OF RECOGNITION ARRIVES BOTH TOO SOON AND TOO LATE; PRODUCING A FEELING OF BEING OUT OF TIME IN THE SENSE OF BEING LATE BUT ALSO OUT OF SYNC OR OUT OF TEMPO. THE REALIZATION OF THIS VERTIGINOUS EXPERIENCE OF OUR PRESENT MOMENT OF LOSS AND BEING LOST APPEARS TO BE LOOMING WHEN IT IS ALREADY TOO LATE." MARK BUXTON

The green apple and date combo up top is what got me — tart for about ten minutes, then it melts into this soft leather and musk that lasts most of the day. Wore it to dinner and kept catching it on my scarf, which is exactly what I wanted.

I was worried the violet leaf would make this too sharp, but the narcissus absolute softens it into something almost powdery by the drydown. The clearwood keeps it grounded without going heavy, which I appreciate since I wear it to the office. Easily the most interesting leather I've tried in years.

The dates and green apple give this a juiciness I wasn't expecting from something labeled leather. It dries down soft and musky on my skin, almost like suede instead of a heavy hide. Wore it to dinner and kept catching it on my scarf.
