A scent-profile suggestion based on recorded notes and how they typically behave, not a combination Beautys has tested on skin. Try it on your wrists first.

01

The idea

Leather can feel heavy alone; cedar gives it a clean, dry structure.

02

What it may smell like

A tailored, dry, slightly smoky wood with a supple leather finish.

03

Why the notes work

Cedar’s clean dryness makes leather feel polished rather than animalic.

How to layer

Apply in this order.

Best for: autumn and winter · evening, work, winter.

  1. 01

    Apply leather first, then cedar over the top.

  2. 02

    Spray onto pulse points (wrists, neck, inner elbows) from about 15 cm away. Do not rub: it dulls the top notes.

  3. 03

    Start with fewer sprays than you would wear of one perfume. Two extraits together can be intense; build up over a few days of wear.
