Leather Iris

Leather Iris by Theodoros Kalotinis presents a powerful, naturalistic leather accord grounded in a soft, buttery suede and powdery iris. The scent opens with a smoky, bitter black leather that evokes a vintage Motto Guzzi motorbike or a grand library basement stacked with old books and leather bindings. As it develops, the iris melts into the leather, creating a balanced, elegant structure that feels both raw and refined. It carries a subtle animalic nuance, propelled by smoky and woody undertones, reinforcing its authenticity. Longevity is strong, with a performance that lingers through the evening and into night, while sillage remains moderate to strong. The fragrance is unapologetically bold and concentrated, making it ideal for colder seasons, especially winter and autumn. It lingers on clothing without fading into worn-out leather smell, thanks to its delicate powdery iris base. While some find it too abrasive or musty, others praise it as one of the most convincing leather-iris combinations available—comparable to a well-loved leather jacket or a room lined with suede furniture.
