How fortuitous that the r/ws sub-exclusive soap, "Seaforth! Leather", arrived yesterday, and today's theme soap was scented by Shawn Maher, same as Leather.
Leather definitely smells "90's" to me, but not in a "90's mall frag" sort of way. Instead it's a "90's childhood memory" type of scent. It puts me in an oddly specific place. I picture waiting in the hallway for a table at the Chinese restaurant we'd go to on special occasions. It was in a building with a shared hallway, and the building just had sort of a "smell" to it. Maybe it was some aspect of the Asian cuisine being cooked nearby? Anyway, that's what I get. It's not for everyone, but I like sort of funky unique scents, and this one is a win in my book.
I'm still surprised sometimes how certain scents can take you right back to a specific place at a moment in time.
Shawn does funky unique scents well.
