OctoberGwen Report post Posted February 15, 2016 Iris blossom, violet leaf, grey amber, soft white leather, a drop of coconut and a sliver of angelica seed. Something about this combination isn't working with my skin chemistry. I get a sense of what the light-colored amber/coconut/leather should smell like, and it's beautiful, but on me there is also a very strong, almost chemical smell happening that is overpowering the scent. I think I'm coming to the conclusion that the only type of coconut that works on me is the black variety, and the only leather I can wear is brown, since both black and white go chemical-y.

Aviatrix Report post Posted March 16, 2016 On me, this is like a leathery violet perfume. I'm actually not getting any of the coconut, which is fine by me. The leather is a light, definitely white sort, and it doesn't have any of the new car smell that leathers can sometimes have on me. Overall, it's a very pretty leathery floral, and feels rather different from other scents in my collection, so I might get a bottle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LiberAmoris Report post Posted April 3, 2016 Embracing Komachi is really lovely—violet/iris and grey amber and a drop of white leather and coconut on me. It's such a surprising and enjoyable take on violet, and really tough to describe! I'll take an unskilled stab: it's like an ambered violet, if that amber was dark. And then there's a smidge of leather and coconut, not enough for either to be prominent on the drydown (at least on my skin) but enough to change the texture. It's kind of hypnotic, actually!

Blood onmy hands Report post Posted April 3, 2016 This is very pretty on me at first; I just wish that I could get rid of the sharp, perfumey iris that dominates the drydown. The white leather and amber are soft, slightly powdery, almost buttery smelling on my skin initially. Suede-like. The violet and coconut come in sweetly floral and a little creamy. And then the iris pops up and takes over in the drydown, making the whole thing too floral and too sharp for me. Iris often smells like cheap, chemical-y white musk, and it's doing that to me here. Sharply perfumey. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theseagrows Report post Posted April 22, 2016 this is a very pretty and romantic scent. i get mostly violet, amber and coconut which adds a bit of sweetness. the leather and angelica are subtle, in fact i wish i got more leather in this! but i really do like this. after being on my skin about 20 minutes its primarily violet, amber and coconut i think. it seems like a perfect spring scent.

zankoku_zen Report post Posted May 2, 2016 White leather, coconut, and a touch of iris/violet. This smells like a very feminine delicate white leather blend. Like what you would imagine a Victorian lady's white gloves, the kind she wears when she's out visiting in town. Delicate, feminine, leather. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
