The 'other' Leather Oud

Not to be confused with its Dior namesake, this 2014 release from Floris London tends to be somewhat overlooked. Review is from an official Floris sample. Hope you enjoy....Please feel free to subscribe if you like the content

This or ADP Oud - this is the question.

Floris is since a long time one of my favorite brands, especially because it is said that Ian Fleming was a big fan of No. 89 and that also should indirectly be Bond´s perfume.

I followed the brand and arrived to have Elite as favorite and the Leather Oud and Honey Oud as my nr 2 and 3 even if I have never tested them before. Honey Oud is very nice, sweet, wearable but a bit too light for my taste so it came the time to test the Leather Oud.

From the notes I was expecting something similar to a floral, dark oud with leather smell and instead I felt that I know this smell from somewhere, after a few minutes I realized that it is getting very close to ADP Oud, which has more agarwood oil but smells quite close to this.

It is manly, quite rough and with edges .. this is not a perfume which will earn your adoration in time, if you like it you like and if not .. that is your problem.

I am in my 30s and I still find this somehow a bit too mature for my liking, and the smooth, tanned leather smell with citruses and a bit of synthetic oud in the background is done nicer in Leather from ADP or even in OUD.

With a bit of tobacco, maybe green tobacco leaves note it would go a bit into Tobacco Oud territory and with the TOM FORD discontinued, Floris would fill the spot.

I am not sure how much I like this perfume, it is an adventure to wear it and with the longevity being so good, you must be ready to have it with you the whole day.

Dust or dusty?

High quality perfume with rich notes that fit its character.

Difficult to differentiate this perfume from others in the already dense leather genre.

No corners were cut here, but this is difficult fragrance to dress down. In other words: not a casual wear, which can lead to bottles collecting dust.

Always hate it when that happens.

The Struggles of the Stage

Similar to Penhaligon's, Floris is one of those houses that one hardly forgives when parfumological silverware is brought to market, only to place minimalist chic on the dining table, where design is everything but substance is nothing. At least, that's the suspicion. The mistrust is not unfounded, as Penhaligon's has proven that treading water in an attempt to remain relevant produces an overwhelming number of sometimes truly questionable fragrances. And what could one wish more from an old British house (regardless of whether it’s clothing, cars, or perfumes) than restraint and prudence, only to make a confident impact at the right moment? After all, the cousins on the other side of the Atlantic are already shooting at sparrows with cannons. But now, let’s lower the eyebrow and spray bravely.

The top note pulls out all the stops and even brings in a glockenspiel and a harp: Bright and radiant yet full and round, "Leather Oud" fills the room and delights the reviewer with a syrupy, slightly "liqueur-like" herbal shine (for example: Ricola dissolved in Retsina) on one side, balancing between medicinal, woody, and subtly fecal clean (artificial) oud on the other side.
The namesake leather is found only associatively, not as an actual note, as modern fragrances with "leather" in the name so often do. Here, Floris remains true to tradition: the leather scent is not recreated realistically but only summoned through the back door. Very pleasing!

After the top note fades, unfortunately, both the composer and the orchestra quickly run out of steam. One of my predecessors attributed a honey character to Leather Oud (which is actually strange, considering the sister scent from the same house is called Honey Oud...) - I found what was being referred to a bit more prosaic as a "Grafschafter Goldsaft note," mixed with a slightly medicinal woodiness. It doesn’t smell bad on its own, but the knot sinks too clearly after the triumphant overture: one trudges a bit sluggishly through the stage, and instead of real bee honey, the field cook can only provide substitutes.

The base is reconciliatory: what is present is pleasantly ambried without becoming sticky. So far, so good. But has this institution of Anglo-Saxon perfumery also succeeded in the excursion towards oud?
To be honest, I had to struggle a bit through this review. Oud, or contemporary woodiness in general, seems to fit into a classic European fragrance concept only reluctantly. Whether it’s AdP's "Colonia Oud," Penhaligon's "Marylebone Wood," or this attempt: somehow, despite all the weight and opulence, the image remains a bit expressionless, nuances are covered up. Yes, Leather Oud is certainly one of the more refined ouds I have had the chance to test, but it feels a bit like the distinguished great-uncle has bought himself a rattling BMW in his old age to impress the village youth. Touching, indeed, but somehow one also smiles a little pityingly.

d'Artagnan

His full name was Charles de Batz-Castelmore d’Artagnan, and in the 17th century, he was a renowned French soldier. His life inspired the writer Alexandre Dumas about a hundred years later to create his legendary trilogy about 'The Three Musketeers', although the novels are only loosely based on the actual life of d'Artagnan and his companions Armand de Sillègue d'Athos d'Autevielle (Athos), Isaac de Portau (Porthos), and Henry d’Aramitz (Aramis, a famous Chypre shares the same name). Much of d'Artagnan's life remains vague between actual facts and fiction - what is certain is that he quickly gained the trust of the young Louis XIV, was entrusted with a variety of delicate and confidential tasks, and subsequently achieved an impressive career at the royal court. He was seen as an arrogant hothead as well as passionately and fiercely loyal: one for all, all for one!

Passionate and silver-bright, arrogant and full of pressing masculinity (though labeled unisex), these are the same attributes that the venerable English house Floris infused into Leather Oud - alongside the Honey Oud, which I have already enthusiastically described, another successful tribute to the ethereal oil of the agarwood tree. Leather Oud is a confident and capricious fragrance, penetratingly love-drunk like a heroic tenor - and a scent more suited for a younger than a mature man. The flowers (no rose!) and likewise the leather (glove-soft suede with an almost candied, melting sweetness) serve no other purpose than to stage the central oud in a radiant and triumphant manner - and they do it wonderfully! Thus, Leather Oud is a fiery and bright fragrance, to which reddish blonde woods give a kind of metallic, bronzed echo - and great beauty besides.

Conclusion: they seem to have a knack for delightfully beautiful (though pleasing, that is the only thing one might criticize if one wishes to nitpick) oud interpretations at the house of Floris. Rugged and sword-flashing glamorous at the same time, Leather Oud is - and effortlessly capable of turning around all those who were long convinced: 'with oud, I'm done!'
