Way Of Love

The opening brings a crisp suede paired with wild rose, feeling quite clean. As it moves toward the dry-down, the leather and costus gain strength, turning the scent into a richer, animalic experience. By the end of the day in cool autumn weather, the hay and labdanum notes linger softly on your skin.

Way Of Love proves to be long-lasting. On my skin, it consistently remains noticeable for over eight hours. Because of the base notes like labdanum and costus, it grips fabric well, meaning you will still catch whiffs of it on your coat the following morning during crisp winter days.

It can work as a signature, but tread carefully. The animalic leather profile is distinct and assertive. If your office environment is formal or crowded, consider applying it sparingly. It feels much more natural for creative settings or casual weekends when you want a fragrance that reflects a bold personality.

The projection is strong, often filling the room shortly after application. When you wear it to a crowded indoor event, it will reach out several feet. Given the richness of the saffron and cherry notes, you might find it too intense for tight, poorly ventilated spaces, so start with fewer sprays.

While marketed as a female leather fragrance, the profile leans unisex. The herbal artemisia and animalic base notes give it a rugged quality that anyone can pull off. If you appreciate the bite of a dry, saffron-tinged leather, your gender does not matter much; the scent will behave the same on your skin.

This leather fragrance thrives in the cooler temperatures of autumn and winter. The warm spicy and herbal accords, like hay and artemisia, harmonize with cold, dry air. It might feel cloying or heavy in the peak of summer, so keep it for when the temperature drops and you need something grounding.

If you already collect leathers, it is a relatively safe bet. However, the inclusion of cherry and chamomile creates a profile that might surprise someone expecting a purely raw or industrial leather. Always sample first if you are sensitive to strong animalic accords or if you dislike sweetness in your darker perfumes.

The cherry note in this blend is not a syrupy, candy-like addition. Instead, it provides a subtle, tart fruitiness that cuts through the thick, resinous labdanum and leather. It creates a necessary contrast that keeps the base from becoming too dark or monotonous throughout a long winter evening.

Yes, but use caution. Its animalic leather backbone is very dominant. If you try to layer it, pick a simple, light floral or a clean white musk to balance the intensity. Avoid layering it with other heavy, resinous scents, as the mixture might quickly become overwhelming during a dinner or night out.

Like many perfumes, it relies on a mix of natural and synthetic materials. With notes like artemisia, hay, and Taif rose, individuals with specific plant sensitivities should test it on a small patch of skin first. If you notice any redness or irritation, wash it off immediately and avoid further use.
