BALLADE ORIENTALE | UNISEX

Nichè Leather Scent at Modest Price

My experience with the owner of Merve wasn't great but she did send me this fragrance as an apology. It was one that I was least interested in but based on a conversation with me, she had made a few recommendations. I wouldn't have chosen this one. The description doesn't really do it justice. This is one amazing leather fragrance. I mean horse tack saddle and bridle I have a lot of leather forward fragrances Tom Ford Ombrè Leather, Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, Chopard Leather Malaki, Matiere Falcon Leather, Maison Crivelli Cuir Infrarouge and Byredo Cuir Sellier to name a few. None pf them hit the way this very affordable leather hits. It's very unique. Maybe, not for everyone. Strangely reminds me of Encelade by Marc Antoine-Barrois which is actually Rhubard forward. Well worth much more than what it sells for currently.

This very alluring

Spicy spicy sultry and very grownup sexy and long lasting

To my nose this perfume is horrendous. I find it to hit too many directions at once. It’s a messy blend of notes instead of smooth. Unfortunately it comes off as unblended and chaotic. This fragrance is not beginner-friendly, not mass appealing and definitely not ‘pretty girl scent.’ Very dissatisfied.
