    Real talk

    Italian Leather earns its name in the drydown, not the opening. The tomato leaf is a deliberate choice, green, sharp, almost astringent. It's an ingredient that demands attention.Italian Leather
    Some fragrances announce themselves. Cuir Rustique takes its time. The opening is all citrus brightness and unexpected turmeric spice, but the leather that follows is the point, the whole point.Cuir Rustique
