10–12 hours on skin, and not the same smell throughout. What you get in the shop is only the first fifteen minutes of it.
- 0-15 min
Saffron and clove over bitter orange. Immediately dense.
- 15 min - 3 hr
Buckwheat honey and tobacco leaf. Savoury, not dessert.
- 3 hr +
Birch-tar leather and labdanum. Smoky and long.
“We pushed the honey almost as far as it will go.”
Honey is a difficult material — push it too far and it turns animalic in a way most people will not wear. We pushed it almost that far. Buckwheat honey is darker and more savoury than acacia, and against a smoky birch-tar leather it reads as something closer to tobacco than to dessert. Rich, slightly feral, best in cold weather.

Best in
Cold weather and evenings. It is too much in summer heat.
Wear it when
You want to be the most present thing in the room.
Think twice if
You work somewhere with a fragrance policy. This carries.
Reviews
How does it wear?
Leather & Dark Honey has no reviews yet. We do not buy them and we do not write them ourselves, so this stays empty until someone who has worn it says something.
If you have, a couple of sentences about how it behaves on your skin is more useful to the next person than any description we could write.
