Don’t let the high go to waste

Sometimes less is more you know? Everything is so expensive these days, global heating fucked up collegues at work (and supervisors), everybody is complaining you know.
The thing i love in niche fragrances is that the nose behind this fragrance is isolated in a way from this world and just focused on formula’s. Leather 6 is realy one of my top 3 fragrances ever!!! This juice got me so elevated that I’m speechless. Yes there is leather, and some burned sugar but dont let the name get you confused. This is my signature scent for now and we are in hot summer time!!!

Its getting hot in here!!!!!

Eyes wide shut in leather

With the background knowledge that the fragrance was released as ’Fetish‘, you can get involved with it in a completely different way. It is a very harmonious interplay of leather, incense and a vanilla-sweet component. The motto comes across perfectly without being vulgar or obtrusive. You can't expect a dingy sauna club with the motto "Vinyl and Leather" every third Saturday, but rather the olfactory description of a somewhat different but stylish nightclub. Very sexy.

With cream

The name "Schwarzlose" offers material for bad jokes. At the time, one of my fellow combatants in the Bundeswehr was bitterly forced to experience this even from his superiors. Well, talent for leadership did not seem to play a central role (at least at conscription times) in filling the middle ranks of the biggest real satire in our country.

I'm only telling this because I don't think of much about the fragrance itself and I don't want to overdo the name/fragrance mismatch, that's enough. All I can do is spread my interference with "Leather 6". That doesn't come as a surprise. Where the announcement "milk" is written, it is usually not far away, the...

But from the front: Mild, soft leather with some sweetness and a tiny, diffuse touch that touches the border to the fruity. A little something ethereal-fresh reinforces the impression of light leather. After a few minutes sweet smoke forms, which I think I would like if it wasn't for this milk, which I think refers to guaiac. And indeed. Between all the sweet-smoky plus hinted at sour-fruity always this burnt milk comes out, which I know quite similarly from "Palo Santo" (from Carner) - a synonym for Guajak.

This may undoubtedly score well with others as a beautiful, sweet, possibly even sensual sweetie, but I feel an overdose of caramel B-cream Pamps at noon at the latest, in which not even a leather spoon is stirred. In addition a sugary amber base, which (unnecessarily) adds additional sweetness.

The brave attempts at compensation I do, however, hold in high esteem: There is, for example, the dusty, bitter resin note that quietly rumbles around in the background, the greened impact in the smoke - obviously the incense presents its green-sour side to us - or in the process a dusty, light wood. They all at least try to tame caramel or burnt milk. Nevertheless, in the afternoon the thought suggests itself to me that I am dealing with sweetened H-cream on dry wood.

Leather? Of course, I know that leather scents are very sweet and that they can often (even today) come from a construction kit of various ingredients - but in the course of time I don't even get to the bottom of a notable illusion of leather, the cream is too powerful. The now conceivable remark that the leather is only mentioned in the top note, I would now find hair-splitting. After all, that's what it's called
Conclusion: For others. For my - highly subjective - evaluation I ask for your understanding.

I thank MisterE for the rehearsal.

Leather? 6

To be honest, I don't think it's leather perfume. But let's start from the beginning: basically, I'm fascinated by leather perfumes, I own various, plan further purchases and test myself. So it was obvious to stop here as well, whereby the marketing a la inspired by the Berlin fetish scene made me doubt the sense of it. The Berlin big city life with its "fall from grace" to spray for the prudish province. But as we know, people like to tell this and that, which serves the perfume. For example, King XX and Queen XX wore perfume XYZ as early as 1790 or something similar.

Leather 6 allegedly has a leather chord that must have been lost in the sweetness, at least that's what the initial sensations were. The tight leather chord was probably discarded quickly and the perfume reveals itself to me as hot vanilla milk. It's something different, especially due to the spiciness of saffron, but it's more gourmand than leathery-smoky.
The perfume needs an hour, then I notice the leather more and more, it is not a dirty-tangy leather, it has more of the typical leather smell of a new leather product. Fine but only shallowly subliminal. But: now the sweetly fermented vanilla milk comes into play. It doesn't harmonize completely with the leather respectively one should rather say that the perfume should appeal to other prospective buyers, as I already mentioned, for me, this is a gourmand corner. Reminds me in parts of Noir Extreme by TF, only a little more solid.
Now the incense does not work so positively any more, it permanently resonates, gives the vanilla milk essentially something wicked but cannot dominate, the whole thing seems a little immature to me.
You have to drive the manufacturer's marketing film safely in order to be able to imagine everything. For lack of empirical knowledge I can't really say anything about it, but if you like real, rough, offensive and therefore disreputable leather, there is for example Doraphilia by Miguel Matos. This polarizes and is certainly much more violent and accurate

Leather and leather - and then, yes, exactly: leather

To anticipate it: this scent is one for real guys, no matter if male or female.

Those who like leather fragrances are spoilt for choice. Memo, Tom Ford, Black Lose... the offer is big. Leather 6 is a big one of its kind.

The start is crystal clear and straightforward, indicating the direction to take: leather dominates the scenery from start to finish. Where Tom Ford also serves the more delicate stringed noses excellently, Schwarzlose does not take prisoners. Now it's not as if leather 6 is hard as nails or even riotous around the corner, but it's on a different level than Tuscan Leather. While the latter softly fanned a rather fine suede woven with the other ingredients in the nostrils, here it goes a bit more concise and striking to the point. The wearer (m/f/d) is conscious of his cause and the signal to his fellow human beings is not without it. An announcement, undoubtedly, which can be quite intimidating by the way. After hours the leather comes over a bit softer, the pyramid quotes milk and vanilla, although I can't smell them. Afterwards it becomes slightly smoky but without drifting off unpleasantly, the leather remains the absolutely dominating element.

As I said before, for real guys, real guys. Ladies who dare to approach this scent should be aware of the effect.
Sillage and shelf life at normal dosage okay, at excessive applications tremendous. Up to 10 hours were in there with me. The bottle is almost plain, not letting you guess what it contains.

As is so common in life, at the end of the day personal preferences decide.
In my opinion, the memos are rather on the generally acceptable track, Tom Ford as well from my point of view. Leather 6 is for me one of the best leather scents, despite all dominance finely arranged, for people who are not afraid of a (scent) provocation.

Definitely worth a test, with me the part is among the top five of the "must and I want to have list".
