PERFUMER H LEATHER REVIEWS
Fragrantica: It’s a very smooth leather scent, almost like a very clean suede smell. Not huge projection but gives a little cloud around you with it’s sillage. You don’t wear this for other people though, you wear it for your own benefit to smell great all day. It has an addictive quality to it, I can’t stop wanting to smell it when I wear it. High quality and very classy. Could be worn for any occasion in any weather, any time of year. An amazing fragrance.
Fragrantica: On the blotter and in the opening this is a muted citrusy aromatic with heaps of natural lavender and bergamot. Cardamom giving it an airy lift, a cedar and oakmoss base keeping things pale and light. Pleasant, natural smelling but unremarkable, nothing to grab you. On skin however, after a few minutes, those same notes merge with birch tar and a murky rose into the delicious smell of new leather shoes, fresh in the box. A wonderful transformation and I loved wearing it. It isn't a typical leather scent — woody, more subtle, new leather with aromatic polish, than sofas or saddlebags — so leatherheads should sample before buying. And I preferred this one when I came to re-test it alongside on other similar woody leathers.
