Soapy-Musky Invigorating "Leather" - Weird Combo.
I can stand behind the idea of this fragrance, as it seems to make a good combo, theoretically speaking. In reality, however, what results is a very weird fragrance. It's not bad by any means, don't get me wrong, but if you're going into this thinking it's the same kind of leather in Tuscan Leather or Ombre Leather by Tom Ford, you'd be highly mistaken.
The leather here is freshened up by notes of orange blossom (Think Neroli Portofino), along with woody-ambery aspects from Labdanum & Musk. The result is a "soapy" feel to the fragrance similar to that in Prada's Amber Pour Homme.
It's very soapy and floral. I can smell more patchouli than leather, and calling this "Mon Cuir" where leather is basically the last thing you can pick up is a tragedy.
It's good, I would wear this until my sample runs out. Is it full-bottle worthy? Absolutely not.
What a weird combination.
