About this deal

I can imagine myself riding a retro style bike wearing leather jacket, jeans and a leather boot outfit with this beautiful fragrance. No, it’s not really a summer fragrance even for Sweden, which can expect as much as 23°C and sometimes more. Once you get into the base, that’s where the fragrance really begins to shine and reveal its leathery, oriental properties. Initial notes of fresh and zesty citrus in the form of grapefruit are punctuated by hints of frozen lavender, cardamom, sage and red thyme.

It's worth all the hype about the fragrance, because it is beyond what we imagine it to be, before we try it! The tonka is accompanied by benzoin, a resin with a balsamic character and a slight vanilla essence. Even once you’re at the skin scent, you’re still experiencing some of the boozines of the whiskey, the smoky spiciness of the heart as well as the oriental, balsamic characteristics of the base. But dont do with strong frags as a) it MIGHT mess with your hair health and b) you will blast people away with the fragrant cannon.At the time my nose was not well trained but I could pick up the booziness, tonka and the woody notes .

On me it’s mostly the leather, vanillic elements (tonka and benzoin I guess), with cardamom, and maybe some lavender. But the cardamom remains present and for about 2 hours an absolutely attractive scent hangs in the close air of the wearer, which, applied to the neck, brings a compliment with almost every hug. The feeling of quality that leaves is pretty bad, especially drying, even giving me a bad feeling, like stale nose to stick to the skin.

Starts off sweet with some bitterness from the whiskey note , as it dries down gets slightly sweeter from tonka along with leather.

After a short n mild citrusy opening leather and whiskey notes take over complemented by cardamom and tonka bean. Only a series of synthetic wood notes like Twin for Men Azzaro with a sweet synthetic tonka and a leather that is more synthetic than all of them can be felt here. YouTubers are pushing this as a date fragrance, however, I think that any social occasion where you will be in a bar or in a leather jacket goes along with it.Perfumista is in no way affiliated with, or working in any form of partnership with, the brand owner. The Artemisia opening is legit boozy and leather kicks in immediately with a sweet powdery vanilla base - so easy to pull. Its opening is fresh and boozy, because of grapefruit and whiskey, at this stage I feel it in an Aramis Black style, then it becomes creamy and woody, very elegant and with a subtle handling of the leather note. I find it more versatile than just using it for evening occasions, with a slightly more mature taste than a youthful one.
