Yes, it’s a Beckham. And yes, it’s a drugstore scent. But anyone who ignores Exquisite Leather for that reason is missing out.
The fragrance conveys a very clear aura for me: Absolute CEO vibes. It smells like freshly polished leather shoes, a pressed shirt, and a glass of whiskey, instantly signaling presence. The scent radiates structure, confidence, and control - perfect for the office or (un)important meetings where you want to appear calm yet assertive.
The longevity is a bad joke at just under 4 hours, and after lunch, it’s barely a whisper on the skin. This is certainly not a "performance monster" for a 12-hour workday.
But what it does in the first two hours, it does damn well. It exudes CEO vibes.
I like it. And I would reach for it again and again.
