Perfumer Emilie Coppermann opens with blackberry leaf and apricot, moves into a heart of orris root, cassis (blackcurrant), jasmine sambac, and palisander rosewood, and lands on a base built around black leather, cedarwood, and an unexpected note of popcorn that adds a warm, buttery contrast to the leather's edge. Launched in 2022, it's a woody floral leather that balances sharp and soft, strength and vulnerability, in roughly equal measure.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeather \u0026amp; Woody: 50% (black leather, cedarwood)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFloral: 33% (orris, jasmine sambac, rosewood)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSweet: 17% (apricot, cassis, popcorn)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e juicy fruit and buttery popcorn soften a confident black-leather-and-cedar base, with jasmine and orris adding lift.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blackberry Leaf, Apricot\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Orris Root, Cassis (Blackcurrant), Jasmine Sambac, Palisander Rosewood\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black Leather, Cedarwood, Popcorn\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long-lasting, typically 6+ hours.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSillage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate, leaves a trail without overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProjection:\u003c\/strong\u003e Confident on application, settling into a skin-close leather by the second hour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eBest Occasions \u0026amp; Season\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eBest suited to fall and winter, where the leather-and-cedar base can carry real weight, though the fruity top keeps it viable for cooler spring evenings too.
