Dreaming With Ghosts by Mark Buxton is an unusual fruity leather fragrance built on unexpected contrasts. It opens with tart, honeyed quince paired with the sharp, herbal brightness of marigold. As that vivid fruitiness softens, a smooth middle tier of supple leather and airy peony steps forward, preventing the scent from turning into a simple dessert. The base settles into earthy vetiver and a touch of sweet vanilla, keeping the finish grounded rather than syrupy. Wearers encounter a blend of sweet, aromatic, and leathery accords that feels distinct from standard designer releases. It works naturally in transitional weather, offering enough crisp freshness for daylight hours alongside a warm, tactile base for cooler evenings. Show less

Shafran by Neesh Perfumes opens with a sharp burst of red saffron, juicy plum, and crushed cardamom. The opening feels warm and dense, spiced heavily with nutmeg and marigold. Within twenty minutes, the bright fruitiness recedes, giving room to a dark heart of brown sugar, caramel, and smooth leather.
