One of the best leathers out there...

Clive Christian, overpriced? "100%". Reviewed much? "not really". In the top 100 on any forums? "not that I have seen". Reviewed much by those so called YouTube experts? "a little". But, this has a rating of 9/10 with 34 reviews and I totally agree with those who have bothered to rate this gem.

I have probably every leather fragrance that has been hyped, highly rated, said to be the best and some I totally agree with this but C-Woody Leather should be in everyone's top 5 leather fragrances.
This is so smooth. I mean it's compiled by Christian Provenzano, that should say a lot. It lasts perfectly. You walk around with a gorgeous cloud surrounding you. It's on a par with Memo, Tom Ford, Widian, Roja Parfums, all those houses that produce great leathers. This is one of the greatest ever created.

Woody Leather Tobacco

C Woody Leather With Oudh Intense from the British House of Niche Haute Luxury Perfumery Clive Christian is a Oriental Woody Leather Tobacco fragrance for men. It was launched in 2017 as part of the 'Private Collection' and the nose behind this fragrance is Christian Provenzano. C Woody Leather With Oudh Intense , formerly C For Men Woody Leather , although this current one is a reimagined version is a meticulously constructed and perfectly balanced men's fragrance, which reminds us of the multidimensionality of high-end niche perfumes. This perfume is an exquisite combination of smoked woods, the sweetness of a refined tobacco, the softness of a rich leather and the deeply evocative aroma of 'oud.

Opening this true sensory olfactory journey that begins with a vibrant citrus and sweet burst of mandarin, a surprising and invigorating isolated top note that cuts through the intensity of the fragrance that follows. This enveloping citrus quickly gives way to a warm heart of tobacco with turmeric. The warm, spicy, leathery embrace of saffron blends with the smoky sweetness of a fine tobacco mist, creating an enveloping and complex accord at the center of this opulent composition. At first it is clear that it is an irresistible mature fragrance that exudes sophistication, power and confidence. With its exquisite combination of over 208 ingredients and a masterfully balanced construction, this fragrance is more than just a perfume, it's a statement of refined luxury.

Towards the base, the perfume unfolds like a rich leather workshop, with corpulent woody notes and deep oriental nuances. The dominant smoky accord, present throughout the fragrance, is mainly the result of the powerful combination of these base notes with emphasis on an incensed woody resinous 'oud and sweet steaming tobacco offering a luxuriously sensual and irresistible finish. The 'oud, although explicitly engraved on the perfume bottle, is subtly present in the composition, contributing to the richness and intensity of this truly exceptional leather and wood fragrance. Smoky woody perfume sweet with dominant leather, but with a soft finish; without the raw roughness and fruitiness of Tuscan Leather. I prefer the C Woody Leather!

Nothing new but lets talk about it

Nothing new in the modern fragrance scene , a fragrance studied to be a Massappealing fragrance whit the resultates of a mainstream parfum
Classic leather / oud (synthetic) and saffron whit undertones not declared of raspberry.
Mainstream yes but the best composition of this type of scents
Open really strong and little bit metallic (saffron )
The mandarin helps to be more pleasant in the development comes out the magic raspberry to bring the perfect balance of this masterpiece
Strong and top performance

Nice leather

This is a scent for people who want their leather raw and spicy, with minimal adornment. It's generally similar to Mercedes Benz Le Parfum I reviewed recently, but sharper and less sweet. Another difference is that C keeps going in much the same form, while Le Parfum loses some of its leathery quality over time.

C smells like leather, wood, and smoke. It's sharp, almost too sharp, and it starts very bitter, but there is some oudy sweetness to offset the raw quality of the fragrance. Oud makes good sense in this composition. I find it nicely balanced and quite delicious.

For me, sillage is not as strong as the ratings would suggest, I would say moderate to strong, certainly not enormous. The scent is very lively though, juicy and oily.

READ: Sexy Leather & Smoke

Background: Tuscan Leather and Ombre Leather are the epitome of leather scents. Tuscan Leather is a stronger leather while Ombre Leather is a sweeter leather.
Clive Christian C Woody Leather is an extremely strong leather with lots of smoke.
Personally, my favorite of the bunch. Smells amazing, especially when sweaty.
Lasts forever too. A complete banger!
