Eau de Parfum - 50 ml / 1.7 fl oz
Scent Type: Woody, Leather
Personality: Thoughtfully Poetic

Inspired by Langston Hughes, jazz poet, playwright, world traveler, and activist. This fragrance is an intimate imagining of the mahogany-clad writing office of a true Renaissance man.

An ambery lamplit glow illuminates a glass of cinnamon-spiced orange brandy. Cistus absolute and the sueded aromas of orris evoke worn textures of a favorite leather armchair. Melodic tappings of typewriter keys weave stories with the tenderness of night blooming jasmine and the resonant strength of sandalwood.

Notes:
Top: Sri Lankan Cinnamon, Caramel Apple, Chocolate Smell-the-Taste
Middle: Orange Brandy, Night Blooming Jasmine, Cistus Absolute, Orris
Base: Tonka Bean, Sandalwood, Musks, Vanilla

How to Use: Spritz generously onto your wrists, neck and pulse points and allow your body heat to help to diffuse the fragrance throughout the day.

“In this creation I wanted to play with a diverse range of ingredients that together could tell an olfactive story about the life and times of Langston Hughes. It was a privilege to partner with Teri to take inspiration from various elements of his life, translate them into a fragrant experience, and in some way provide a kind of time travel journey back to the Harlem Renaissance and this distinguished figure." - Hamid Merati-Kashani (Principal Perfumer)

Henry P. ★★★★★

The woody-leather depth is exactly what I wanted for fall—it feels like a warm, worn-in jacket. I sprayed it on my scarf this morning and the dry-down stayed close but present through dinner, which is rare for a 50 ml bottle this size. The poetry angle isn't gimmicky; it genuinely smells thoughtful.

Lily ★★★★★

I keep catching whiffs of it hours later and it still feels like the first spray—that woody-leather blend has real depth without being heavy. The 50 ml bottle is perfect for my travel bag, and the scent genuinely feels like something a poet would wear.

Julian ★★★★★

The leather note hits first, then the wood settles in like a warm memory—it's the kind of scent that makes you slow down and think. I've worn it on quiet evenings and it lasts for hours without shouting. That 50 ml bottle feels like it was made for someone who treasures their own thoughts.
