Leather Shot

Leather Shot opens with warm cumin and cardamom—spice that catches the throat—before bitter orange cuts through like citrus on worn fabric. The leather arrives almost immediately, deep and tannic, shadowed by iris's powdery green and the astringent grip of black tea. Beneath, vetiver roots the composition in dry earth while driftwood introduces a weathered, almost smoky mineral quality. Cedar and sandalwood emerge slowly, their woody warmth wrapping around the leather as it softens, until only resinous vetiver and pale sandalwood remain on skin.
