Mortal Skin is a seriously polarising scent: some claim it's a masterpiece, a mysterious and addictive aroma that defies categorisation, whilst others find it 'icky', 'gross', or even like 'rotten meat'. Its divisive nature, coupled with frequent complaints about weak performance, means it's not a crowd-pleaser and definitely needs a test wear.

This is a seriously rich, elegant rose-patchouli-leather bomb that smells far more expensive than it is. Prepare for velvety depths and a unique spicy-fruity twist. It's a love-it-or-hate-it kind of scent, though, with some finding it too niche or 'oudy'.
