LEATHER EMOTIONS
LINEAPELLE and the Korean scent brand .NOTE present three signature fragrances inspired by three cities, each translating the identity of place into a distinct olfactory experience. Rooted in the shared language of design and material culture, the collaboration reinterprets the essence of leather through scent, allowing cities to be experienced not only visually and tactilely, but also emotionally through fragrance.
Leather Emotions explores the intimate relationship between scent, color, and leather, revealing the material’s expressive and emotional depth. Just as leather carries marks of time, craftsmanship, and touch, fragrance carries traces of memory and atmosphere.

Leather Signature Scents
The project approaches leather not only as a physical material but as a narrative surface one that absorbs stories, environments, and human experience.
Blending Korean sensibility with Italian leather heritage, the three scents reflect a dialogue between refinement and experimentation, tradition and contemporary creativity. Each fragrance is carefully composed to resonate with the colors, moods, and cultural keywords of its city, forming a multi-sensory portrait of place.

The fragrances invite the audience to experience leather beyond sight and touch transforming it into an atmospheric medium that evokes identity, place, and feeling.
Together, LINEAPELLE and .NOTE propose a new way of engaging with leather culture: immersive, poetic, and deeply human.
