About

Roman Leather opens with a striking, almost bitter leather, immediately joined by a dark, earthy musk. A rich, warm honey note soon smooths the edges, preventing it from veering too harsh, while vetiver adds a distinctive aromatic, slightly green twist. The dry down settles into a deep, resinous amber, anchoring the bold leather and honey with a smooth, lasting warmth. There's an undercurrent of something herbaceous and green throughout, creating an almost gothic feel.
