About En Plein Air
En Plein Air Paints Leather in Daylight
En Plein Air from Written on Water is a leather fragrance for women and men, launched in 2024 and created by perfumer Frank Voelkl.
Instead of a dark, heavy leather, it aims for open air and brightness, with fresh spice and pale florals leading the way.
The opening centers on cardamom, mandarin, and pink pepper. It feels crisp and sparky, citrus-bright with a light peppery lift.
The heart turns floral with freesia, geranium, iris, and jasmine. Iris brings a soft powdery veil, freesia and jasmine a clean white-floral clarity, and geranium a green, aromatic edge with a rosy touch.
The base settles into cedar, leather, patchouli, and Ambroxan Super. The leather reads smooth and faintly smoky, framed by dry wood and a warm, enveloping trail.
Overall the scent balances white floral, fresh and warm spice, herbal-aromatic notes, and gentle animalic depth. It is a daytime, easy-to-wear leather with a polished texture rather than a rugged one.
It will suit anyone looking for a unisex leather that works in daylight, fans of iris and jasmine who want backbone, and wearers who like clear woods and fresh spice over dense leather.
En Plein Air lives up to its title, sketching leather outdoors in natural light. A balanced, wearable take from Written on Water where flowers, spice, and wood keep the leather luminous.
