What does 28 smell like?

Frankincense, milk, fleur de sel and gun powder sit alongside them. The sweet, fruity pear shares space with the animal, smoky character of the leather, while iris adds a soft, powdery edge. Spicy and synthetic accords run through the composition as well. Taken as a whole, it moves between sweet and dry and reads less like a classic fruity-floral than an unusual leathered fruit.

Tom Ford Tuscan Leather (Eau de Parfum) and Carolina Herrera Bad Boy Elixir have a close profile.
