Great scent. The almond makes it more of an all-season scent imo.

Absolutely. It's a perfect fresh, light-weight scent, and I'm bummed that it's been discontinued. After today's shave, my tub has a ring of death.

I'm a fan of many of Ben's scents but this one, Tobacconist, (Mood) Indigo, and Fú Dào really take me places. I managed to collect three of Ben's samples for Almond Leather. I'm currently down to the last one. Maybe he'll bring it back, or tweak it into another leather scent.
