Btw, I also have a tendency to "see" fragrances - they often evoke a visual image for me. Lonestar Memories is similar to your vision.

I must finally try Lonestar Memories this year, with all that praise coming from you. It seems like a perfect leather fragrance. Maybe something to read some Jack London novel or even Cormack McCarthy. I was about to ask about Dior Leather Oud and now you just adressed it. Might try and ask at a Dior store when I am in Berlin the next time. Speaking of leather scents: I recently blind bought a bottle of Opus XI because of your reviews. I absolutely adore it. So happy to have found one online. My partner hates it though, as I had anticipated, haha. Too much rocket fuel and burnt rubber in there.

The most wonderful leather composition I have smelt besides Cuir de Russie by Ernest Beaux , was Kadine by Jacques Guerlain (in the 2021 version reconstructed by Thierry Wasser) it is so delicately and sensitively composed, a whispered poem of familiar iris and violet notes within an earthy green surrounding and accompanied by a very elegant gentle leather note.

I think in terms of execution you could argue that Violette Volynka and Cuir d'Ange are interchangeable/tied in the list as I struggle to say one is inherently better than the other while also acknowledging that there's no point imo to have both 🤣. Another more modern leather that I think definitely deserves to be on the list would be Francesca Bianchi's Black Knight, I'd also put the case for Puredistance's M but that's been discontinued :( .

I'd add Regent Leather by Thameen to the list. It has a unique finesse to it, on my skin. My leathers would be TF TL and Thameen RL. Antaeus is less refined. It might have been perfect for its time, but we live in different times. As a newbie to the fragworld I've smelled all those 3 perfumes for the first time at around the same time (back in the days - the 80s - I used Kouros, but never got to smell Antaeus) and the finesse of the newer compositions are quite obvious to my novice nose.

@@Persolaise oh, I totally agree. I understand. Scents are (as we all know) associated with memories. Antaeus defiantly has a lot of memories for a lot of people. However, for people who do not have any memories associated with it (it's a new scent as far as I am concerned), they judge it "emotionlessness" on its scent merit against contemporary leather scents. I totally understand how Antaeus is a pillar for a lot of fragworld veterans. (On a different "note", pun intended, I've managed to find/buy today a new 90ml gucci guilty absolute full bottle, which is becoming a rarity in our midst, for just 55$... :) Another interesting leathery perfume).
