Leather light

After having tested numerous leather scents, I recently came across a sample of a fragrance that I had been considering for some time. I don't know what OG stands for, but I didn't care, I was simply interested in the leather. This creation here is actually a bit more special, because it is unusual. A leather of newer school but free of fruit and still full-bodied for the first seconds. I smell vanilla here, it's not in there at all, but it smells really good. Something different from fruit and above all not a lovely, feminine vanilla, not even a dirty one but wearable for everyone.

After: Leather with ginger. A combination that is quite rightly rare, because dry and brittle leather is enhanced by hot and dry ginger. Especially since the attempt fails. So for the first 30-60 minutes the scent is a clear but insipid leather product for me. The violet, which is often used for olfactory presentations of this kind, presents itself as usual minimal peppery, a bit leafy and so you first sit in front of an unbelievably monothematic and somewhere boring leather scent.

The anticlimax has been reached, it can only get better and that is what happens. The incense comes out, caresses this creation and now makes me think of faded leather jackets, which is progress. It becomes more exciting, minimally spicy, the fragrance gains few nuances but it wins them. With time the leather gets lighter, there might be a pinch of saffron in it, all in all the scent changes little but effectively, even though on a small scale.

Honestly, my enthusiasm sank with every test. At first I thought he was a candidate for purchase because I was impressed by his sobriety. Gradually, OG aroused boredom in me, even though it gets better with time, the brittle grey still manifests itself olfactorically in the air.
Sure, it is less extroverted than other well-known leathers of newer perfumers' art. But so are others, and yet they play at the very top with few ingredients, see AdP with Colonia Leather. Insofar a satisfying fragrance, out of goodwill I give 7,5 instead of 7,0; I wanted to say it first but it bores me too much, it's all too expressionless, too pale.

For whom is such a fragrance recommended? In principle for those who like leather, but with the vast majority of available creations, this quickly becomes too intense. In this sense, OG is the light cola of leather perfumes.

Appearances are obviously deceptive here too. As is so often the case with scents, initial enthusiasm is followed by relative disillusionment...
Gladly read and to test I save myself then probably!

(1) Your literary engine is really starting to warm up here. Great rhythm and beautiful metaphorics. A pleasure to read. (2) First, I read "Leather Free from Fear"... Maybe it's stoic leather. (3) Og means "and" in Norwegian. Or maybe OG stands for "without guarantee". (4) (Oak) Leafy goblet (without fear and reproach).

Hmm. Leather is great in principle, but in combination with violet and boring I don't need to remember it.

I can imagine that the attempt with ginger will fail
It all sounds very unspectacular.

Would be bad and would be quite expensive, if everyone would be a hit ;)
The brand doesn't tell me anything yet.

He wouldn't be for me. I'm already equipped with better and bolder leather scents. You know what I mean!..)

No fruit? And what about bergamot in the top note? Vanilla is missing, but violet is a lovely fragrance
After the rather colourful composition I would have expected more from this og.

Leather is probably your passion and here generally accepted, that is great. The description of the scent is haunting and comprehensible and also personally the scent is to be regarded rather with caution for me because of the ginger combination. I take distance from the perfume.

I can understand that. I feel the same way about the leather memos.

If your enthusiasm for leather is waning, I don't even need to start. ;)
