Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
An incredibly fine leather from Arquiste; even though it’s marketed as a men’s scent it’s 100% unisex. It smells like a central leather note blended with violet neroli and wood—nothing harsh just soft and sweetened. It’s very subtle and honestly smells great even delicious despite not being a leather fan. The downside is it lasts only 2-3 hours at most and the sillage is almost non-existent from the start. Paying €149 for the 55ml bottle (around $160) sounds like a rip-off. If you don’t mind the price or lack of projection it’s a top-quality very refined perfume; otherwise just leave it as another curiosity.
