Floral

Black violet doesn't smell like the delicate flowers you might pick from a garden. Instead, imagine the deep, powdery heart of crushed violet petals—earthy and slightly metallic, with an almost creamy, bittersweet quality. It carries whispers of dark chocolate, tobacco leaf, and old velvet fabric. There's a faint animalic warmth beneath, similar to how warm skin smells after wearing a wool jumper. It's sophisticated and slightly shadowy, far more complex than a cheerful floral.

Smoky & Earthy

Leather smells like the interior of a well-worn saddle or vintage handbag—earthy, slightly animalic, with warm tobacco and wood undertones. There's an almost smoky, bittersweet quality, reminiscent of old books and aged suede. It's dry yet vaguely creamy, conjuring images of smoke-filled gentlemen's clubs and polished riding boots. Unlike the raw smell of fresh hide, fragrance leather is refined, sophisticated, and mysteriously animalic without being offensive.
