What do reviewers say about Ocean Leather and Cuir de Africano?
Ocean Leather is a marine leather, which sounds contradictory until you smell it. The citrus and aquatic layers do not soften the leather, they coexist with it.Ocean Leather
The cumin here is the divider. Body-warm, almost animal, it is the note that defines this composition. Bold and unapologetic, it sets this fragrance apart from more timid leather offerings.Cuir de Africano
