Leather this committed isn't trendy. It smells like someone who reads Caravaggio for the light, not the composition. The smoke leans dark, not trendy-barbecue.In Extremis
Marjoram opens bitter, green, and medicinal. Either the hook or the dealbreaker. If you stay for the oud that follows, it's worth it, resinous, deep, and nothing like the usual suspects.The Library Collection Opus XI
