Description: This is a sophisticated blend of leather and black agar, sweetened by bergamot and lemon, sharpened by star anise, and it’s all mellowed down with some sweet vanilla.
In the Bottle: Leather, bergamot, slight lemon, and a hint of sweet vanilla.
Wet: Leather, bergamot, slight lemon, and a hint of sweet vanilla. It smells oddly sterile too, like a department store.
Drydown: Neutral leather, a sliver of lemon and the lightness the black agar with a touch of sweet vanilla.
Throw: Low
Wear Time: 2.5 hours for a single application.
Verdict: Not bad, a little unexpected. I actually really enjoy the leather smell which to me smells sort of neutral, and a tinge of bergamot and black agar making it almost a light yet dark floral.
The standard Alchimia Apothecary sample vial is a droplet top dram of 1.5ml. It came clearly labeled, though the fonts were not as clear as they could have been.
