Erba Leather
Erba Leather opens with leather and grass simultaneously, a combination that smells like the interior of an old riding jacket left on a wooden peg: the grass and hay note has been absorbed into the leather rather than sitting beside it. Iris and violet give the dry-earthy combination a powdery depth, and tobacco in the heart deepens the hay note into something that smells genuinely aged rather than freshly applied. Vetiver and amber in the base carry the composition through a long, earthy drydown. An old-world material composition from Cosimo Londi's Masterpieces collection, built to last.
Why We Carry This
Erba Leather's grass-leather combination is genuinely unusual in contemporary niche perfumery: the hay note gives the leather a naturalness and the tobacco a depth that makes the whole composition feel like it belongs to a longer history. The iris-vetiver base is excellently proportioned.
