In a nutshell
Description & review snapshotLeather Cloak is a woody, vanilla tobacco leather that opens bright and peppery, then quickly turns boozy and smoky with rum and tobacco. The leather feels smooth rather than harsh, with a soft rose and sage lift in the heart. As it dries down, vanilla, woods and amber take over, giving it a warm, slightly sweet cloak…
Reviews →Abuser by Testament London is a dry, boozy woody blend that pairs heavy dark rum and cognac with a medicinal oud base. It fits cold autumn nights, wrapping the wearer in a dense cloud of tobacco leaf and burning birch wood.
