Hyde

Inspiration
Hyde is the adventurer in Hiram Green’s work, named after the darker half of Dr Jekyll. He wanted a leather built without a single synthetic molecule, and found it in birch tar, the resin that smells of a burnt-out campfire. Against it he set cassie, a yellow acacia bloom with a green, spicy side.

The Signature of Hyde
Lemon and bergamot give a short, bright flash. Birch tar and cassie clash in the heart: smoke against flower, rough against tender. Labdanum, vanilla with a malty edge and oakmoss leave a dark, saddle-like leather.

What our ParfuMaria team thinks of this fragrance
At the first spray some customers think of a smouldering fireplace, and that is exactly the point. Give it ten minutes: the cassie steps forward and the leather turns soft and almost sweet, like an old coat you have worn for years. To us Hyde is one of the finest natural leathers around. Wear it on a cold evening, with wool and a glass of whisky within reach.
