elissamay Report post Posted Wednesday at 08:56 PM (edited) This is really lovely. There is a leather-bound quality to this scent, and sweetness with a faint crinkle of paper. In that sweetness, I might be smelling a little spilled wine, or maybe blood, and there's possibly a wee splash of faded cologne. There might be just a bit of warm beeswax, but it isn't a waxy or honey scent. Leather doesn't always jive with me, but this is old and well-worn leather. Not sharp, not punch-you-in-the-face leather. Antique-books-on-a-mansion-library's-carved-wooden-shelf leather. I posted this review after I knew I'd secured a second bottle just in case. So selfish!

splendidissima Report post Posted Thursday at 08:45 AM I was making an order and couldn't resist, as a medievalist... The leather goes on STRONG on me - it's loud. It is more in the brown, warm, worn-in leather style, versus black, I think. For the first few minutes that's all I can smell. And then...the leather doesn't go away, but something I think is the Lab's paper note, especially the sort of aged paper, comes out - like a dry, er, papery (sorry! I can't think of a better adjective!) vanilla, like sniffing the pages of a very old book. I happen to like that, so yay! The leather is still there but it's more complex now. I cautiously like it...it's not my usual wheelhouse, but I'm not mad at it. I may try it on the Awesome Husband - I might like it better on a partner than on me specifically? I think on me it leans...not masculine necessarily but a little more rugged than I like as a 'me' scent, more like...an adventurer-archaeologist sort of person wearing a battered leather jacket has shown up in your library to search through antique books, and they're super-hot, and you're into it, but also they're pulling all these old books off the shelves and flipping through pages, and those scents of old bindings and old paper and sun-warmed scuffed leather and a shaft of sunlight is filling up all your senses.
