« All’origine, a Grasse, si profumavano i guanti di cuoio. Ho immaginato un guanto da falconiere riscaldato dal sole, di cui si percepisse sia il lato liscio e potente sia il lato scamosciato e morbido. »
Wore this on a sunny afternoon and kept catching whiffs of that leather-glove vibe—it’s like the birch and the warmth blend into something really polished, not harsh at all. Lasted through a full workday on my skin, which surprised me for a perfume this refined.
That dry birch tar opening is so smooth and smoky, it genuinely smells like well-worn leather gloves from a falconer. The way it warms up on the skin over a few hours is subtle but commanding, and I keep catching whiffs of it all day.
The sun-warmed birch tar note is what got me—it’s smoky and raw but never harsh, like worn leather gloves left on a windowsill. I sprayed it on at noon and could still catch faint traces on my scarf after dinner.
