Our verdict on Galatea: Acquired

Prepare for a long haul: Galatea is a fruity-leather that demands serious maceration - we're talking months, maybe even a year - to reveal its full, genuinely impressive potential. Out of the box? Expect anything from plastic to burnt rubber.

About

Galatea opens with a jolt of green cypress and thyme, quickly overtaken by prominent, almost rubbery leather. As it settles, a sweet, undefined fruitiness emerges, softened by a delicate, powdery rose and iris. The base unfolds into a sophisticated blend of woody vetiver and cedar, with a subtle vanilla adding depth, transforming from harsh to smooth over time.
