Saddles of the Silk Road

Inspiration
Saddles of the Silk Road takes you to the trading caravans that travelled between East and West for centuries. Saddles of worn leather, bales of precious spices and the smell of campfires under the stars. Mystikum gathered that trek into a dark leather scent.

The Signature of Saddles of the Silk Road
Oud, saffron and cistus open animalic and resinous. Leather, cocoa, styrax and moss form a rich, tanned heart. Patchouli, amber, cedar and sandalwood bring a dry, warm drydown.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
Saddles of the Silk Road is exactly what the name promises: leather that has spent years in the sun. The cocoa is a clever touch, making the oud rounder and slightly chocolatey. We notice it grows ever softer on the skin and after a few hours smells almost like suede. One colleague calls it the best leather scent in its price range. We like it most in autumn, with a leather jacket and a cup of strong coffee.
