Vertus Bois et Cuir (Eau de Parfum) Vibe: Bold, smoky-sweet, rugged, and commanding.; Scent Breakdown Top Notes: Leather, Bergamot, Grapefruit, Ivy, Clary Sage Heart Notes: Amber, Cedarwood, Jasmine, Cyclamen, Lavender, Patchouli Base Notes: Sandalwood, Tonka Bean, Vanilla, Oakmoss, Musk, Balsamic Notes, Oud Fragrantica Consensus Community Rating: Highly rated (~4.25 / 5) The Scent Profile: Translating to "Wood and Leather," this is a massive powerhouse of a fragrance.; The opening is unique; it immediately blasts you with a strong, raw leather note that is balanced by juicy grapefruit and a sharp, bitter-green ivy leaf.; As it develops, a velvety cedarwood and earthy patchouli take over the heart, leading down to a rich, dense, ambery-sweet base of vanilla, tonka bean, and balsamic wood.; Performance: Exceptional beast-mode performance.; It projects heavily and easily survives past 12 hours on skin.; Critiques: The blend is incredibly dense and complex.; The combination of intense leather, green ivy, and sweet vanilla draws frequent comparisons in the community to the bold, masculine styling of Creed Aventus mixed with a heavier, resinous leather DNA.
