Fine gourmand leather

Personal approach: The first contact with Tom Ford's Ombré Leather I had at the Düsseldorf airport on the way to the holiday with two friends. At the first spray, I associated with the perfume a very fine leather, as it is used in the production of high-quality leather gloves. Since I like leather as a scent, this moment stuck in my mind in a very positive way. A short time later at the gate, my two friends also noticed the smell and it caused them to argue about which of them would have to sit right next to me and endure this smell at close range for the next four hours. Leather is apparently not everyone's thing, although OL already belongs to the more portable leather scents.

Scent description: as a top note dominates on my skin a soft leather with a very coherent cardamom-jasmine composition, which I clearly prefer in the class of gourmand leather fragrances "Wild Leather" and "Goldophin". It is the highlight of this perfume. After 1-2 hours, this fine leather scent gradually fades into the background in favor of a balsamic-sweet note that lingers on my skin for many more hours. It is also a very round fragrance, but rather sweet and less leathery.

Durability and Sillage: The durability of the perfume is above average. 10 hours, the perfume is clearly perceptible on my skin and it projects neatly in the first 4 hours. On clothing, the perfume lasts much longer, although then the balsamic-sweet note is very dominant.

Bottle and packaging: The cylindrical matte black bottle looks dignified and is full in the hand. The front-side inscription is emblazoned on a flush piece of faux leather. The weighty cap with engraved TF logo gives a high-quality impression and sits really tight. The black outer packaging made of thin cardboard of a shameful quality for the price range clouds the solid impression a little.

Conclusion: for a little over 100 euros per 100ml you get a nice leather scent, which (unfortunately) becomes increasingly sweet. As described in another comment, it does not lose its elegance - fans of a rich thick leather (like me) come here but not really at their expense. The (online) price of this TF unisex leather fragrance is fine.
