Red by Giorgio Beverly Hills is a Leather fragrance for men. The first few aldehydic minutes of Red on the skin is reminiscent of the smell of wet mossy stones right along a running river. You can almost hear a waterfall. Minutes in, and the herbaceous notes take center stage, as if you've crushed a handful of thyme, basil, and wormwood leaves in your hand; phenolic, and a bit minty. The heart is primarily carnation, spicy and bit prickly to the nose, with the foreshadowing of animalic leather. By the dry down, the mossiness amps up on the skin, joined by the leather and patchouli, with receding spices rendering the base a sultry mass of masculinity for a few hours.
