    Real talk

    The opening is a dare. Galbanum and fenugreek hit with an herbal sharpness that some people compare to curry paste, others compare to medicine, and both are right. It's not immediately likable.Opus VII – Reckless Leather
    A confident fragrance. The smoky-leathery-animalic triad is assertive, uncompromising. What draws wearers back is that it doesn't dilute itself for comfort, castoreum and leather arrive on schedule.al03
