Nuit de Bakélite • Naomi Goodsir

The tuberose in this is so velvety, not at all loud — it stays creamy against the leather and tobacco. Lasts a solid six hours on me with a soft, smoky drydown.

I bought this expecting the tuberose to dominate, but the galbanum and violet leaf keep it green and bitter in the best way. On my skin the leather and styrax come out after about an hour, and it lasts a full workday. It's strange and a little severe, which is exactly what I wanted.

The tuberose and leather combo sounded risky but it's stunning — smoky, green, a little weird in the best way. I wore it to dinner and my partner kept leaning in to sniff my wrist. Lasts a solid eight hours on skin without ever getting loud.
