Smoky & Earthy

Russian leather smells like a leather jacket left in a smoky room—rich, slightly charred, and deeply animalic. Imagine the scent of a saddle that's been near a campfire: there's the warm, almost smoky sweetness of birch tar beneath, mixed with the dusty, slightly medicinal smell of aged leather. It's not the clean, fresh leather of a new handbag; it's darker, more weathered, with an almost tobacco-like undertone and a hint of something slightly bitter and resinous.

Gourmand

Vanilla smells like warmth wrapped in sweetness—imagine the comforting aroma of freshly baked vanilla sponge cake, or a warm bowl of vanilla custard on a winter's evening. It's creamy and soft, almost edible, with subtle woody undertones and a hint of spice that recalls cloves or nutmeg. Pure vanilla is surprisingly complex: it's not aggressively sweet, but rather enveloping, like condensed caramel with a touch of earthy depth. It smells like indulgence and safety simultaneously.
