LeatheryWhat does The Hedonist smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are rated moderate, though the small number of ratings means this is only a rough guide. It reads neither distinctly masculine nor feminine.
Russian leather and castoreum form a leathery, animalic backbone. Frankincense adds a resinous, smoky layer, while the woods give an earthy, woody base. Spicy and synthetic touches stay in the background, leaving a dry, dark leather scent. Le Labo Cuir 28 and Tauerville Incense Flash have a close profile.
