In a nutshell

Description & review snapshot

The Spark is a leather-first scent that goes smoky and animalic fast. On skin it can open with a sharp, almost workshop-like leather, think glue, polish and a faint smoky haze, before turning a touch softer and slightly sweet in the dry-down. It is distinctive and very polarising. If you like challenging leather scent…

Reviews →

Chizu by Pisello Parfum balances dark smoky leather with bright tart fruitiness on skin. The opening hits with a sharp burst of sour cherry and black suede. It gradually settles into a dry resinous base of vanilla and warm spices. This scent is built for cool autumn nights when you want a rich leather jacket vibe.
