Okay so this is bad. It's almost like Le Labo at this point, discard the name because it means nothing. If the brief is leather here, this was perfumed by an alien who has never smelled leather and doesn't even know what leather is. That's all I can conclude from this pickled, cucumber and celery salt, brine liquor which yes you've guessed it, smells like Santal 33. It's a cultural and perfumery milestone, I get it, but I despise the perfume. Sandalwood accords seem to want to be paired with this crippling, greenish, papyrus accord and I can kinda see why. Amyris has some of the qualities of both sandalwood and papyrus. This is a bit less invasive than the Le Labo, but also a paler and weaker version to those who love the brutality and presence of Santal 33, yes you can instantly tell the difference to the point it's not a 'clone' as such but I've no doubt they were aware of the popularity of this style of perfume. Look I can forgive a copy of Santal 33 even if that's what this was, but I can't forgive is the promise of Leather being dashed by the emergence of a horrid perfume trope, I hate. It's not Leather. Simple.
