I am smelling this 15 cm away from the vial and it is PUNCHING me in the face! Diluted to 1% in IM and on the strip it's still strong: new suede shoes, inside of a leather bag, leathery but more suede, very warm!

In my personal experience it is one of those ingredients, like leather, which need company and sustain from other elements to really shine.

Try to smooth it out and get a better mellow-leathery feel with Tonka, Cinnamon or an all-spice element.

It truly comes beautiful along with others if you prep it as an accord :)
It will shine as well as give credit and exposure to all the other notes which surround it.

Therefore one for all, all for one.

Be careful when using...very strong.
