L'Eau Scandaleuse Eau de Parfum

Because "leather" fragrances can span a wide variety of styles and notes, there's room for both creativity and disaster. Luckily, L'Eau Scandaleuse is a triumph: an exuberant, sensual leather shot through with bright fruits, narcotic florals and deeply sexy animalic notes to create one truly intoxicating leather scent. L'Eau Scandaleuse opens juicy and wild, with succulent peach and bergamot and sweet davana. The leather accord here is full-bodied and breathtakingly complex, neither screechy nor overly smoky but nuanced, natural and gently rugged, the lovingly aged leather of treasured heirlooms. Combined with a restrained dose of gorgeous, hypnotic tuberose, the results are achingly lovely. In the drydown, deep animalic notes join the harmony, stimulating the primal sensuality and balancing the florals. Leather scents this masterful are rare achievements for even experienced perfumers. With L'Eau Scandaleuse, Anatole Lebreton is staking his claim to that reputation right out of the gate.
