But there is something about its mint character that takes this into a different direction than expected. May just need some more time with this one.That one was kinda disappointing to me as well, not because bad but it was just very far from what my mind pictures as Russian leather.
Still no leather (I’d say more soft cuir) , but I enjoyed African Leather slightly more from what I can remember.
Staying on disappointment topic:
Givenchy - Gentleman Society
One of my most recent - and quickest - instant regret, just another soulless office fragrance I really didn’t need. In my defense, I had this nearly full tester at half its price.
Not bad or offensive by any mean, it has pretty good longevity too, but the old original Gentleman would be very upset by his latest grandchild imo...

. . . can't believe the prices I'm seeing. You used to be able to buy it at a pharmacy for like $25 or something, to my recollection.
In other news, I managed to go one day in a row without wearing it.
