Real talk
Saba is not a safe blind buy. The coffee opening is bold, the licorice heart is polarizing, and the drydown leans gourmand-sweet on some skin. Sample first, commit second.Saba
The leather-tea combination isn't common, but it works. Black tea adds a smoky, mineral depth that keeps the leather from getting heavy. Tonka bean sweetens just enough to make it wearable.Lieber Gustav 14
