Baikal Leather

The Story
Baikal Leather is a bold, smoky leather fragrance inspired by the wild landscapes of Siberia. Patricia de Nicolai blends a crisp birch tar with a surprising freshness from mint and juniper berries, creating a scent that feels both rugged and refined. The drydown is warm and animalic, with castoreum and labdanum adding depth. It's a leather that breathes—dark, but never heavy.
