About This Fragrance
Number 23 in The PERFUME OIL FACTORY's the STORIES collection is a perfume oil without alcohol or water. The product was formerly called Original No.23 (Bergamot, Leather). The brand says the scent and contents remained the same when the name changed. Its accompanying story follows an actor rehearsing lines at his usual café table, unnoticed by most of the people around him. The English display name is an editorial rendering; the Japanese product name is the name shown on the official product page.
Scent Profile
The official note structure has three stages. Bergamot, lime and cedar are listed at the top; musk and grapefruit in the middle; leather at the base. Bright citrus therefore shares the opening with dry wood, while the middle pairs a softer texture with another, more bitter citrus impression. Leather provides the closing idea. The listed structure does not establish a precise timetable for how long each impression lasts on skin.
Who It's For
This is a useful fragrance to try if the contrast of crisp citrus and dry leather appeals to you. Sampling it on skin will show how close it sits and how its listed materials come across in practice. The brand does not state a specific season or projection level for this fragrance, so those choices are best made from the wearer's own trial and setting.
