Cuir de Nacre

Aldehydes sparkle over ambrette seed, an intimate and slightly fatty musk, and the peppery root of angelica, and the opening already smells of skin. Iris turns the leather of the heart suede-soft, cassia adds the heat of cinnamon bark, and styrax gives white musk and sandalwood its rubbery sweetness.
