What does Calimala / Leather Rose smell like?

Both its longevity and its sillage are rated strong, and most voters give each a high score, though the number of votes is small, so the picture is tentative. There is no clear lean towards any season or occasion, but the leathery, spicy build reads comfortably on men and women alike.

It opens with rose, Brazilian orange and cardamom, and moves into orange blossom with two rose absolutes at the heart. The base holds suede, cyperus and vanilla: the floral sweetness of the rose settles into a leathery warmth softened by vanilla, with the cardamom leaving a faint spicy edge.
