    Real talk

    Here's the thing about Cuir Amethyste, the leather is there, but it's not the point. The violet is. That powdery, semi-sweet violet that opens and doesn't let go.Cuir Amethyste
    If you want instant compliments, look elsewhere. Dune rewards patience and draws you in slowly. The aldehydes might seem dated at first spray but evolve beautifully.Dune
