Literally translating to "Sweet Leather, " Cuoio dei Dolci is a rare kind of hybrid- one that draws equally from the smoky animalic intensity of leather and the mouthwatering richness of a gourmand to create a perfectly balanced, exquisitely sensual treasure. This 100% natural confection, described by none other than Luca Turin as "a gingerbread ottoman that hits all the buttons, " features a heavy dose of castoreum as its primary ingredient- intense, animalic, and primally erotic. But lest you worry that Cuoio dei Dolci tilts too far towards the carnal, a luxurious counterweight of powdered, vanillic tonka softens the harsh edges, joining a sweet, naturalistic tobacco leaf to refine the leather and stir the senses. Supplemental notes of earthy cocoa, smooth vanilla, and sweet ylang add to the indulgent sophistication, while a base of robust, creamy sandalwood keeps everything at the perfect intersection of the dining room and the smoking parlor. Lovers of sophisticated, refined, non-sugary gourmand scents- look no further.
