This is it!

Today you have many options to choose a leathery perfume.

When You look around bitter leathery perfumes, you found some perfumes that are very similar at first glance. maybe "Tom Ford - Tuscan Leather" is the most famous of them.
Most of them use a combination of leather and saffron along with third element. finally, they have smoky smell of leather that balanced with third element. and we saw a lot of special good perfumes in this race that made for use at "night out" and "business".
"Colonia Leather" started with a very different and well-made scent of leather. A natural smell of leather without any gasoline smell, very close to leather jacket smell. I really like it.
Maybe after a while, you feel like when wearing a dark and heavy saffron-leathery perfume. but don't worry, It is not like them.
In this case, the second element is not saffron, that is "Gaiac Wood". and the third element is "Rose".
The leather wants to going into dark and heavy smell, but the rose stop it. this is the point that made it different from other.

Of course it is one of the best choice to wearing by women.
"Colonia Leather" have innovation in this group of scent.
I believe "Acqua di Parma" do it well.

Colonia Leather

This fragrance begins with a blast of leather and raspberry (Tuscan Leather says "Hello!"), brightened by juicy citrus notes (typical of Acqua di Parma). Gradually the raspberry and citrus top notes recede, and I begin to see more of the fragrance's heart notes. There is leather of course, as well as dried herbs and aromatic woodsy notes. During the progression from head to heart notes, the fragrance quiets down considerably and loses its initial effervescent fresh- and sweetness. It is now quite dry and herbal, the leather accord is always present, but not always dominant; still it is a red thread that runs throughout the fragrance's development. The leather accord takes centerstage again in the dry-down with what remains of the fruity top notes.
I'd say this delicious fruity leather fragrance, is a lighter version Tuscan Leather, and as it is quite fresh, it is perfectly suitable for spring / summer. It is very well-made and nicely balanced to not offend anyone, so I'd say it is perfectly office-friendly.

Luxurious Italian Leather

Colonia Leather by Acqua di Parma is sophistication with a touch of the avant-garde. The initial burst of citrusy freshness is present but takes a back seat as the star of the show, leather, steps into the limelight. The leather note is rich, supple, and exudes a luxurious quality that's hard to ignore. It's not your typical heavy or overpowering leather; instead, it's a refined rendition that feels like the embrace of a perfectly tailored leather jacket.

In terms of longevity, Colonia Leather performs admirably, lingering on the skin with a moderate sillage. It strikes a balance between being present and intimate, making it well-suited for various occasions. While it leans towards the more formal end of the spectrum, there's a versatility to it that could elevate a casual evening as well.

A gentleman. Almost.

Maybe he was lost, the Ford, Tom Ford, looking for Tuscany.
Perhaps instead he had landed in Parma, in the plain of the Po, and had smelt it there, the leather that was to become world-famous afterwards.
And it sounded better too, admittedly, Tuscan leather, "Tuscan Leather", better than Parma leather or something.
Who wouldn't have thought of ham, the delicious ham of the region, which I love on the plate, but less on my skin?
Yeah, maybe it had been that way, that way or something, who knows.

It was dark, that leather, smoky and oily and coarse, as it went up Tom Ford's nose in some tannery.
It also smelled a little dirty how men sometimes smell when they work with their hands, with their muscles, with tools and dust and stone.
He captured this, the Ford, and filled it into bottles, mixed with herbs, wood and fruit, which underlined the black, emphasized the astringency and at the same time lent soul to the roughness of the cowboy.
That was new, that was exciting, that conquered the world - and many, many followed him, the Ford, on his way, the leathery, the smoky one, whether he started in Tuscany or southwest of the Po.

There it took a few more years until the signs of the times were understood, until "Acqua di Parma" took on the leather, the still black, still coarse, which was still so masculine that women rather kept their distance, loved it more by (foreign?) men than on their own skin.
The boys and girls of "Acqua di Parma" made the leather a little lighter, a little finer, gave it transparency and - yes: decency.
Where the forefather is loud, noisy and clumsy, where he fills entire rooms with his presence, "Colonia Leather" holds back almost nobly, surrounds the wearer, the wearer with a dark aura that is clear and perceptible, but never loudly rumbles.
The leather's roughness is tanned, the blackness nestles up velvety, the smoke doesn't take my breath away anymore and lets go again after a good handful of hours, instead of putting me in leather shackles like the knight Ford until the day after next.
A real gentleman.
Almost.

On a customer visit to LVMH

Leather from Acqua di Parma was my first contact with leather, at least consciously. Fahrenheit, already in my possession at that time, is also awarded such a note, but at that time I was far from being as addicted to perfume as I am today. In any case, I travel a lot on business, visiting companies and their contact persons in the areas relevant to me. So it was probably fate that a visit to LVMH in Düsseldorf was decent. During the waiting time I wasted my time with coffee and added Sauvage for free. Yes, there it was still Sauvage ;)

Anyway, my contact person and I got into a conversation after the official part, he noticed that he rarely has a guest who likes to spend money on perfume. If I had known where this would end...
After the appointment he offered me to take a few samples, because I expressed my interest in classic scents, a colleague is usually on the road with his sandalo. So I tried various perfumes from the brown AdP range, which my contact person recommended to me. One of them was Leather. What can I say? After the appointment I drove to Breuninger and was two AdP richer and monetarily a lot poorer. Here my love for leather scents began
The first time at home I applied generously to immediately suffocate feelings. I let my wife smell and she was blown away. I was a bit speechless and not only because of my shortness of breath and had to deal with the smell. So my love for this fragrance and leather in general grew Now for the fragrance: I don't notice the raspberry and that's good, because we already know that in abundance. Leather comes across like leather that has been refined with lemons. It smells kind of fresh and gives it a really pleasant and authentic leather note, just like in the Florentine leather alleys. It stays that way until the scent loses the lemon and the leather becomes more or less self-sufficient. I can imagine the cedar here as well, this makes the scent rounder and more pleasant, the rest I honestly don't smell. But that doesn't matter either. The scent changes once, it is very pleasant to wear and above all - hardly to believe with AdP - it lasts for a very long time. Generally the brown row here is strong. Even a good Sillage is in it.

People always like to talk about leather xy being more of a business scent, leather xx being more casual and leather something more giving the rocker or whatever. Leather from AdP is the gentleman or just for the one who goes about his business in a suit. Because this calm nature, these not exuberant notes but the stylish balance of the fragrance make it to what I associate with a men's fragrance for work (I'm just travelling in a suit for business). It's classic, simple, stylish and that's why I love leather.
