Rose & Cuir

Sichuan pepper crackles bright against black currant's dark berry snap, geranium's green sharpness cutting through cassis wine-dark sweetness. The opening trembles with electric spice before leather enters—rich, supple, almost animalic—wrapping around a rose that smells worn, lived-in, slightly bruised. Vetiver's dry grass and cedar's cool wood emerge as the pepper fades, anchoring the leather and rose deeper into skin where they dry down to a faintly sweet, austere second skin.
