Orchid Leather

A polished leather-oriental with spice, incense, cistus, and vanilla: smoky, resinous, and softly creamy, it stays intimate and warm on the skin. Best worn in cool weather, evenings, and more formal settings where a close, understated scent trail is desirable.

Scent Development and Character

A dense, resinous leather-oriental impression: spice and incense create a dry, smoky opening, then cistus and vanilla soften it into a warm, balsamic, slightly creamy drydown. The texture feels polished rather than rugged, with a close, intimate presence.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Best worn in cool weather, evenings, and more formal settings where a close, understated scent trail is desirable. Projection is restrained rather than expansive. Best suited to autumn and winter, especially evenings. Sillage is Soft to moderate projection, generally staying close to the wearer. Longevity is Moderate to long-lasting; community reports suggest around 6–8+ hours on skin.
