Warm leather with dates and a little smoke
I like Prin's former brand Pryn Parfum because of Taiga alone, which is an exciting woody scent. Turkish Leather, on the other hand, reminds me undoubtedly of his later work Anatolia and yet the course is completely different, which is why sweet-leathery as a description is extremely misleading. Especially when you call something like Ombre Leather sweet and leathery. I briefly considered putting another wool story in here, but no. Wool doesn't drink raki, he can't pronounce it, and it's not sold in cans at the discount store.
Turkish Leather starts directly very lush. Sweet influences meet fat, sunburnt leather, in the background the scent of dates wafting over. I do not mean the mostly available here dry dates from Tunisia but I'm talking about the juicy dates, which taste to me like caramel and where I can also understand why you like to eat dates. I buy myself from time to time with us in Turkish or Arab shops.
Yes, to start with, both lokum and the date are fairly strong in their sweetness. I don't notice the cocoa powder individually, but it still adds a powdery coating to the other sweetish ingredients. The leather is also immediately noticeable, but still on the defensive. Only after about 30-60 minutes does it equal the protagonist, but is flanked by a hint of oud as well as incense. The oud underlines for me the cocoa note, woody and spicy, the incense then reminds of incense at the bazaar whereby for some time the materials around the date almost completely disappeared.
So far, so good you would think and actually one must mention here that the fragrance is not for leather enthusiasts. The leather was woven namely so strong that depending on the phase of the fragrance other ingredients are in the foreground. Therefore, you must undoubtedly like date and the like because this also lets the fragrance fade. Incense and leather, that is at some point no more. Anyway, you have to dedicate yourself to the ingredient Lokum what can be an extremely versatile oriental sweetness, sometimes rose water is built and this I mean to perceive selectively.
From the flair, you feel logically transferred to a Turkish bazaar whereby I notice that with Anatolia even more intense. Leather and incense create a distance here, although both appear warm and approachable. Anyway, to draw the line, leathery-sweet? For me, more leathery-fruity. But then, everyone thinks raspberries, too. Perhaps Royal Leather, with its dry and dried fruity notes, would be a fitting comparison.
