I'm hesitant because of the emphasis on leather in the promo. I like leather how you do it but whenever I hear leather I have PTSD flashbacks to Tiki Bar Out West which is LEATHER!!! and nothing else.
I was very impressed with this collaboration as this scent is perfectly on brand for Chiseled Face. Seems like a match made in heaven.
I wouldn't worry too much about the leather being overwhelming. There are the rich wood notes, some sweetness underneath from the amber, musk, tobacco and rum, plus the kick from the herbs, pine and agar give it a punch. A lot of people say how earthy it is, but I find it to be a rich and rewarding animalic scent. It may not be for everyone necessarily, but I see a lot of people who have been pleasantly surprised by the scent, including myself. I caught a big whiff of rum off of the puck, which initially had me worried, but it really comes together once lathered. Very nice stuff!
That sounds nice, however, I don't have to worry because it sold out. It lasted just over a day I think. Oh well, I guess I'll have to scrape by on the 10,000 or so other soaps I have.
