Well, OK. Update. Someone offered me a bottle of this for my bottle of Bois d’Orient (which I am not liking or using as much I thought I would) so, although I am possibly setting myself up for more swappers’ remorse–I’m going for it!:)

Tom, I’m surprised they ran out so fast but that just means it’s a great scent.

I tried this one this past weekend (luckyscent has it backordered, and ScentBar is out of it, but they let me try it anyway) and I was very happy. I hope they get more soon…

Vika, you’re right, it’s more common in masculine scents.

It is incredibly sweet, as most of the PG fragrances. I do like it, but I prefer it in a candle form.

I would say that leather is very common, but mostly in masculine fragrances. I agree that it is not as easy to find in feminines.

Schlemiel! I like that!
I’ll have to revisit my Cuir Mauresque decant then. Gluey! I like that, too.
What’s budget? Somehow, this word got completely erased from my brain…

Yes I do. Is that weird? Not in the dry down, but that floral carry on in the beginning does make it smell a little sugary to me. well, that and gluey. but I like gluey!

and I know. But I think I want a couple of things more urgently, and I’m sticking to a budget.

and I still haven’t given you my impressions of the l’Artisans, have I? What a schlemiel!

Leo, you still need that full bottle of Cozé! You find Cuir Mauresque sweet?

I too forwarded my sample when it didn’t match up to my measurements. I’m in the Chaya / March camp. No surprise there. Cozé is still top marks for me in this house, although I own a full bottle of Harmatan Noir (big summer favourite).. I still need that full bottle of Cozé don’t I?

I guess when I want a bit of a sweet quality to leather, I opt for Cuir Mauresque - or as I call it, Glue Superiore…
