M is a beautiful mature leather scent, with a lot of nuances. It opens very spicy, almost savory, like I could put this in a meat seasoning… but in a good way? And then it’s moving into a cola-esque citrus floral direction. The leather comes through quite sharply, before going more spicy overall again.

It’s powerful, but it has a fresher air at the same time. I actually haven’t smelled Fetish by Roja Parfums yet, but apparently that is very close (as this one is also done by Roja Dove).

The drydown is more woody, still spicy, still has a fresh tinge, still leathery, but now way more smooth than in the sharper opening. Great performance (big projection) as a bonus.
