Beast mode clean leather
Bengal gave me what I was expecting from at least one of the Tom Ford Ombre Leathers, none of which delivered. Bengal opens with a strong, green and herby scent which is the davana up front. As the leather begins to slowly appear, mixing with the davana, the scent has subtle whiffs of hot tar or asphalt. Doesn't sound too good, but a little patience goes a long way. The davana gradually recedes as a beautiful rose note appears. The rose brightens the mix up a bit and adds some flowery sweetness. The balance shifts again in favor of the leather which starts to take on a smoother and creamier aspect. I'm guessing that's the contribution of the amber, sandalwood and vanilla along with a shift or addition of suede to the leather. The blend is excellent as I cannot pick out amber, sandalwood or vanilla. The sweetness has also diminished after the rose phase. What I was left with was a beautiful smooth, creamy - almost buttery leather scent without any fruity or floral notes. It's this scent that remained for the rest of Bengal's life. At no point did Bengal have an animalic aspect. Totally clean. The evolution as Bengal dried down was a very interesting experience.

And what a long life it is. The next morning, about 22 hours after application, Bengal was still going strong as a strong skin scent and provided a compact projection bubble around me. Initial projection after application was very good being quite the beast mode fragrance. For such a great leather scent, I find it kinda amazing at how under the radar Bengal is. I really want to pick up a bottle of this baby.
