About

Lorenox is a captive aroma molecule from Mane. It smells woody, ambery and leathery at once. The leather is clean and worn, closer to aged calfskin than to birch tar. The amber is dry and warm rather than sweet and resinous. One trade glossary calls it the smell of warm stone and old leather in a locked room.

Scent Profile

Lorenox smells woody, ambery and leathery at once. The leather is dry, clean and worn in, like aged calfskin, with none of the tar or animal edge of raw hide. Dry wood gives it an angular, textured shape. A dry, mineral warmth sits with it, close to warm stone. The amber reads as warmth rather than sweet resin.
