It still isn't cheap, but that brings the price way down from the super large bottle, so it would even be comparable to Borneo.

I've noticed a trend among niche or exclusive designer lines for leathers that are dry, though not nearly as dark and smoky as the Le labo (eg Ferragamo Tuscan soul incense), but they're very expensive too. Perhaps in the end some previous suggestions are worth trying.

Thanks for all the lovely suggestions D! <br />It's probably a fitting sense of playfulness in naming Pathouli 24 thus, since it suggests the leaf oil's darkness when in fact it's its harsher leathery aspect which is at the core. Body Kouros is one I haven't smelled in ages, hope it's still around and not axed.

I've loved both and to me they are reminiscent of each other. I also have worn Coromandel, and Prada Amber and if you can get it, you might prefer Prada Amber Intense ( a now discontinued flanker). It's still around on websites. Good luck, hope you find something you like!
