The crisp morning after a rainstorm, where the air is filled with earthy scents and the faint hint of leather from well-worn boots.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Launched in 2015, III by WIDIAN is a Leather fragrance created by perfumers Ali Aljaberi and Jean-Claude Astier. The composition opens with the freshness of mint and bergamot before transitioning into a heart of leather and dry wood, underscored by the earthy warmth of sandalwood and patchouli. Vanilla adds a touch of sweetness to the base notes, while moss lends an earthy depth. III is neither overly sweet nor heavy, striking a balance between fresh aromatic elements and rich woody undertones.

How to wear it

Apply III in light sprays — it blooms gradually over time. The mint and bergamot notes are initially prominent but give way to the deeper woody and leathery base within an hour, making it ideal for daytime wear.
