Our verdict on The Lover's Tale: Acquired

This one's a proper love-it-or-hate-it affair, a beast of a fragrance with a divisive opening that evolves into something truly seductive and artistic. Brace yourself, it's not shy, but those who 'get it' absolutely adore its raw, unapologetic charm.

About

The Lover's Tale opens with an aldehydic burst, tinged with sweet honey and mimosa, before quickly settling into its controversial heart. A prominent, animalic leather accord takes centre stage, softened by buttery orris and a hint of fruity peach. The base reveals a musk-laden, woody depth, grounding the composition with a sensual, almost carnal intimacy. It's a complex, multi-layered journey from barnyard to boudoir.
