Delicate Herbal Powder with a Strong Base
With "Modern Leather," I have once again a scent in front of me that is initially hard to "grasp" because the ingredients are so delicately intertwined.
A second and third "sniff test" is required to either confirm or correct what was first detected.
In any case, I can distinctly identify the blend of basil and thyme. It emerges first and gives me the impression of fine herbal powder. Green, spicy, Mediterranean.
Lavender also plays a role in lending the "fougère note" lightness while simultaneously providing a certain depth.
Although it is not listed above, I believe it is present.
A kind of green, rose-like floral note, which is slightly "minty" in the background, along with patchouli, which sometimes more, sometimes less, reigns in the middle of the scent, gives "Modern Leather" a "cool-warm effect" that is rare in fragrances.
Finally, powerfully crafted aromas join in, the richest MOSS, inky-leathery BIRCH TAR, a bit of incense for lightness, as well as cedar and sandalwood, which remain in the background but are easily recognizable.
The entire fragrance balances lightly sweet and slightly bitter, oscillating seemingly like certain "optical illusions" in the nose, yet this only arouses more curiosity to "understand" the scent.
Perhaps the fascination of certain perfumes lies precisely in the desire to unravel them into their individual components, yet somehow failing to do so, ultimately giving up to enjoy the beautiful overall impression.

All in one or nothing....
Actually, the fragrance is worth at most just a statement. But for that, the word count is too short.

My nose says: The “Modern Leather” is a blend of the prominent top note of Aramis Devin Light Sporting(?), Havana, and a hint of New West. This primarily sweet melange direction admittedly smells quite nice and distinctive. But nothing more. The honey-colored, flattering appearance of the perfume color emphasizes this - but the color is hardly a compelling argument for a fragrance…

The fact that “Modern Leather” completely lacks a leather note despite its name doesn’t bother me personally that much (lucky me :)))), but it might be important information for other perfume enthusiasts.

What is completely unacceptable overall is the sillage. It is simply non-existent. And to rule out any olfactory blindness, two additional noses were brought in. Result: Perceptible, if at all, only directly at the sprayed spot. Otherwise, nothing. While the longevity is actually not that bad. It’s just that you can’t smell it.

What a pity. The disappointment is great. This classic look of the bottle, combined with the beautiful fragrance color and the "modern-sounding name," deserved a more worthy presentation. It feels like the thousandth variation of the already well-known fragrance directions from Aramis, in a completely diluted concentration. Grade: six.

I quite like it, even though it has nothing to do with Aramis Classic: a tiny hint of leather, a bit spicy, herbal, woody,

Weakly leathery, reminiscent of fresh shower gel, smells really good even though the leather theme has missed the mark.

Unfortunately, it has a deodorant touch for me. Fresh, woody, spicy. Nothing leathery here, instead the modern fragrance synthetics come through fully. Annoying!

A fine, light leather scent. Very pleasant to smell. Only the sillage is too weak for an EDP. But for those who love to be embraced...

Yes, it's not bad. Spicy-smoky.
But not too strong. Pleasant sillage.
Will I keep it? Let's see what Test 2 says ;-)

The notes sound very promising. More classic than sweet and syrupy modern. Test candidate.

The scent itself is very beautiful and harmonious, but unfortunately, it's too soft for me. If only there were a hint more leather in it.
