Dead Leaves, Green Cognac, Iris Root, and White Leather

Recommended Posts

Every leaf tells a story.

Cognac, iris, hint of leather and dead leaves. For me, iris always ends up powdery, so I get cognac powder and dead leaves with a hint of leather. Medium throw and wear length.

I picked up a decant of this because BPAL's leather note tends to work well on me, but this one was unusual -- intense iris at first, with the leather coming out to balance it, but then a sour note emerging after drydown. I picked my decant up again after letting it sit for a couple of weeks, and settling may have been a good thing -- on more recent tests, I'm no longer getting the sour note, but more a blend of cognac, soft leather, and leaves with the iris adding a slight floral sweetness.

This is powdery white leather with the dirty, spicy, dry smell of dead leaves.  Not sure about the cognac.
