UNHHHH!
Trying to find the appropriate floral compliment. Ylang-ylang is *not* it–eau de urinal cake. Jasmine or gardenia maybe?
Update: NEROLI

Demeter Riding Crop smells exactly like new leather goods. If you walk past the handbag section of a dept store that slightly sweet and powdery leathery–that scent is what is in this bottle. The inside of a new leather purse.

I’ve had this for a while, but only worn it a few times. Part of the reason is the notorious short longevity of Demeter fragrances.
But really, Riding Crop is surprisingly long-lasting. By that, I mean it radiates for a couple of hours, and calms down after that into a typical base-note.
I use this one mostly for layering with brighter fragrances. To me, the explosion of leather in the opening of some of my perfumes is EXACTLY what they need before they reach their dry-down phase where I truly love them. In this way, this is a perfect must-have for those who love the heavier, darker scents.
It’s as if my fragrances morphs throughout the day into something complete different . . . something I’m digging.
The fragrance itself is new leather. It smells like black leather bridles to me. Not sure why I smell the color, other than it being a bit more hard. It’s not purse smell. It’s not wallet smell. It’s not the smell of your favorite leather jacket. This is a tack store with the rows and rows of bridles, halters, and saddles to chose from. It’s the kind of place I’ve spent hours in, and I adore it!

I like the riding crop fragrance alone or mixed with other demeter fragrances. Today I tried mixing lilac and riding crop which was a nice combination that lasted about 2 hours. My husband mixed riding crop and oud and that smelled sufficiently masculine and also lasted about 2 hours. Unlike some high end perfumes/colognes, the demeter fragrances maintain their scent until they fade away without turning powdery and/or musty.

It is a pleasant leather scent, with the pleasantness outweighing the leatheriness. I’m not sure what accord it is, but there’s a fresh “spa” dimension to this. It smells more like the leather department of a large store, near the perfumes section, rather than the leather items themselves. The stiletto depicted next to the bottle is appropriate, as this doesn’t conjure up the more masculine aspects of leather.

This is FAB. Perfect for adding another masculine dimension to a lot of fragrances in your wardrobe that may need something extra, a boost or that need to be toned down.
Cheers!

A very true leather scent with some woody/smoky undertones. Has a masculine edge, but I like that about it.
It’s a bit harsh. It’s not for everyone.
Smells of new leather ie; leather and the chemicals used to process it.
