    What do reviewers say about Étui Noir and Royal Leather?

    Leather fragrances don't usually play nice. This one does, and that's why people who know this scent keep coming back. The iris powder is what separates it from every other smoky leather on the shelf.Étui Noir
    The leather here doesn't bite. It wraps. Softened by iris, sweetened by dried fruits, it becomes something a man wears to dinner rather than a fight. The saffron keeps it interesting.Royal Leather
