Dug out this oldie of mine packed full of suedey leather and Iris, like sticking your nose into an expensive pair of shoes and huffing deeply

I originally bought this direct from the perfume house along with Ambre Russe after trying out their sampling programme....I received a hand written thank you note from the owner and nose Marc-Antoine Corticchiato, which was pretty cool

I've got a small selection of their fragrances, mostly in the 'oriental' category, Musk Tonkin is definitely worth a gander if you appreciate a really filthy musk

Great post! Wow - this sounds amazing! Leather and iris - yes!!!!! I'm wondering how similar it is to Hermes Violette Volynka, which smells very much like a massive dose of new shoe leather.

I had a look on Fragrantica and I think the Hermes would be sweeter, I was also surprised to see a new nose has taken over duties at Hermes (it's been a long time since I checked in on perfume news)
