What does Cantaride (pennellature) smell like?

The top notes are caviar and angelica seed, which give it a spicy start. In the heart, blond leather meets benzoin, and the resinous sweetness softens the leather. The base brings musk, patchouli and vanilla: patchouli lays an earthy, woody floor, while vanilla pulls the whole into a warm, gourmand and powdery finish. The overall impression is sweet-leaning, leathery and warm. Prada Some Velvet Morning and Histoires de Parfums Ambre 114 have a close profile.
