A bold leather fragrance that transforms raw hide into something sophisticated and wearable. The cardamom and florals soften the intense leather heart, creating Tom Ford's most accessible leather scent.
What People Say
The cardamom opening provides a warm, spicy sweetness that makes the leather approachable without neutering it
Jasmine sambac adds an indolic richness that prevents the leather from smelling flat or synthetic
This strikes the perfect balance between raw leather and refinement - you get the animalic edge without smelling like a tannery
The patchouli-amber base creates a luxurious drydown that feels expensive and well-blended
The rose can clash with the leather in an odd way during the heart, creating a jarring floral-leather combo
Performance is disappointing for the price - becomes a skin scent faster than expected
The leather note lacks the complexity and realism of niche leather fragrances
Great for
People who want to smell edgy and sophisticated but find pure leather fragrances too aggressive or unwearable.
Not for
Leather purists who want raw, uncompromising hide notes without floral softening.
Longevity
5-7 hours, becomes a skin scent after 3 hours
Projection
Moderate for first hour, then sits close to skin
Value
Overpriced for the performance you get - similar quality available for less
