Istanbul by Samam: Smoky Leather With a Milky Twist
Samam introduces Istanbul, a new unisex fragrance that explores the sensual side of leather. Launched in 2025, it belongs to the Leather olfactive family and stands out for its tension between dark notes and an almost creamy softness.
The opening of Istanbul is striking: leather, osmanthus, and saffron. This initial burst feels dry and lightly spiced, with osmanthus adding a fruity, animalic touch that meshes with the nobility of the leather. It's a bold start that sets the tone for the rest of the composition.
This fragrance will appeal to fans of modern leathers and woody textures, as well as those who appreciate a creative twist with milk and vanilla. Its unisex nature makes it versatile, perfect for making a statement at evening events or for daily wear in cooler weather.
Istanbul is a risky yet successful experiment. Samam delivers an unconventional leather where the lactonic facet becomes almost hypnotic. A scent that won't leave you indifferent, and one that promises to reward those who dare to try something different.
