I have a small sample, and while it’s not my definitive scent, the leather note is exceptionally soft and pleasant. A sweet, powdery aroma dominates, giving it a very characteristic ‘vintage’ touch.

Reminds me a lot of one of the best perfumes in history, Cuir Beluga. Here, the leather caresses the skin—it’s suede that acts like velvet. The iris only adds a buttery note, nothing like Dior. I’ve slowly discovered all the fragrances from the house, and this is undoubtedly the best; the rest of the collection is very good, I just need to try the No. 6. Another example of houses without hype that hide true gems. P.S. The comparison with Orchidée Vanille doesn’t make sense to me; lately, weird things are being said here.

Another successful blind buy. It’s a deceptive perfume: it starts soft and slightly citrusy, but its drydown is amazing. The suede is delicate and adds body, accompanied by iris root, heliotrope, vanilla, musk, and benzoin. It transforms into something warm, powdery, with a vanilla makeup scent. I own Guerlain’s Cuir Beluga, and they’re practically identical, but this one is half the price.

An iris and suede leather scent, ambered, vanilla-infused, and musky. To me, it feels like a sweeter, lighter version of Dior Homme Parfum. It’s very easy to wear, with a simple structure and nothing aggressive, giving it great versatility. Perfect for any time of day. Scent: 9.5, Longevity: 7, Sillage: 6, Versatility: 10, Originality: 7, Overall: 9.
