Inspired by African Leather (Memo Paris)

Saffron and cumin over a raw leather heart, with oud and vetiver drying it out further. Animalic, dusty and unapologetically raw.

Fragrance notes

• Accords: Warm Spicy, Aromatic, Fresh Spicy, Leather, Woody
• Top notes: Saffron, Bergamot, Cumin
• Middle notes: Leather, Geranium, Cardamom
• Base notes: Musk, Vetiver, Agarwood (Oud), Patchouli Leaf

Works well in:

• Body and perfume oils — deep and long-wearing even at low dilution
• Soy and paraffin candles — good hot throw with a warm, resinous room note
• Bukhoor and incense blends — the agarwood holds its shape over heat
• Reed diffusers — carries a medium room well
• Cold process and melt-and-pour soap — test first: the oud and leather materials can discolour a pale base

Supplied undiluted and alcohol-free, in two raw-material grades. The scent profile is the same in each; the grade sets the materials, and with them the projection and wear:

• Quality A: the richest materials, with the strongest projection and the longest wear.
• Quality B: the most economical materials, with the lightest projection and the shortest wear.
