August Picnic, 1976 by DSH Perfumes smells like an authentic summer afternoon outdoors. It does not smell like artificial berry candy. Instead, you get a quick burst of sharp citrus solvent before the real notes settle into place. Freshly sliced wild strawberries mingle immediately with tart rhubarb, bitter green galbanum, and crushed lemon peel. The fruit smells tart, crisp, and refreshing. Within twenty minutes, damp lawn grass and delicate Spanish jasmine surface, mimicking the aroma of an unmanicured backyard meadow. The base provides a soft landing of Virginia cedar, clean vetiver, and a slight pinch of cane sugar. This creates the feeling of resting on a sun-bleached wooden picnic table. It is an intimate, comforting eau de parfum made for quiet spring mornings and warm casual weekends. Expect a gentle skin scent rather than a loud statement. Show less

True Leather opens with a green, saffron-tinted leather effect, then softens into iris, rose, and a smooth woody base. It reads more powdery and refined than raw or rugged. This looks best suited to shoppers who want a dressed-up leather with floral and musky edges. If you prefer dark, smoky leather, sample first. Show less
