Cuir Grenat - the modernist/minimalist approach to the popular raspberry-leather scent profile. Raspberry notes and I have a long history of not getting along, I’m yet to find one I can enjoy. The good thing is this isn’t repulsive, which is how I find most raspberry fragrances. This takes the idea of that rugged brutalist scream that the leather usually has, and turns it into a whisper. The raspberry, dampened and flattened so as to retain its sweetness without becoming sickly. Blanketed over the top is a noticeable amount of ambrofix which gives the scent this overall clean, shower-gel sort of quality. It’s nice, I like the fact that the clean soapy aspect of it balances what could have been a harsh and distasteful perfume. I will enjoy wearing my decant but I wouldn’t buy a bottle as it’s simply not my style.
