more about this scent

Master Perfumer Karine Vinchon Spehner crafted this aromatic leather composition with a provocative edge, weaving an unconventional accord that adds an addictive, almost forbidden quality to the blend. The result is a scent that feels familiar yet entirely unexpected—a daring exploration of contrasts that balances the natural elegance of mossy woods with something darker and more enigmatic. This fragrance was designed to be unusual, to push boundaries, and to create an experience that stays with you.

Wear & Feel

How It Evolves

The fragrance opens with a bright burst of pink pepper that immediately awakens the senses, sharp and energizing. As it settles, the heart reveals rich leather intertwined with earthy oakmoss and a mysterious, intriguing accord that adds depth and character. The dry-down transitions into warm, resinous base of cedarwood, patchouli, and oud, creating a smooth, long-lasting finish that feels both grounded and luxurious.

Inspiration for When to Wear

A wonderful choice for evening gatherings, date nights, cooler weather outings, or any time you want to make a memorable impression.

Who Might Love This

This scent speaks to those who appreciate bold, unconventional fragrances with depth and character, and who aren't afraid to stand out.

Layering Suggestions

This bold composition pairs beautifully with lighter, fresh scents to soften its intensity while maintaining complexity. Consider pairing with vanilla-based or amber fragrances to enhance warmth, or juxtapose with crisp citrus to create intriguing contrast. The key is balancing the rich leather and woody notes with complementary textures—allow your intuition to guide you toward combinations that feel uniquely yours.

Application Tips

For optimal performance, apply to pulse points where warmth naturally enhances diffusion—wrists, neck, and behind the ears work beautifully. Given the fragrance's bold character and moderate projection, 2-3 sprays are typically sufficient to create presence without overwhelming. A light mist on hair or clothing can extend the experience throughout the day, allowing the scent to evolve gracefully with your movements.

Frequently asked questions

What makes niche fragrances different?

These come from independent perfume houses that prioritize creative expression over mass-market appeal. They produce smaller quantities and often use unconventional ingredient combinations you won't find in department stores. If you're looking for something distinctive that won't be on everyone else, you're in the right place.

Why do these cost more than designer fragrances?

Smaller production runs mean higher per-unit costs. Many niche houses also use higher concentrations of fragrance oils (15-30% vs. 5-15% in typical designer colognes). You're paying for distinctiveness and quality ingredients, not advertising budgets or celebrity endorsements. The higher concentration also means you'll use less per application—better longevity per spray.

How long will a bottle actually last?

A 100ml bottle provides roughly 1,000-1,400 sprays. Because niche fragrances are more concentrated, most wearers use 2-3 sprays per application (vs. 4-6+ for designer colognes). That's 330-700 wears, or 12-24 months with regular use—daily luxury that lasts.

Do you offer samples?
