Velvety leather
London is a well-blended fragrance that's perfectly unisex. If you don't enjoy leather scents that are too demanding, this might be right up your alley. It sits closer to the skin and floral nuances make it velvety - it's almost like Jordi used a suede accord.
The opening is light and pleasant, nothing animalic about it. A smooth leather note is mixed with violet and white flowers; I mostly get an iris facet with some jasmine. Nothing powdery or feminine - airy and uplifting florals. I suppose the refreshing factor could be attributed to cypress. While it's not piney, it still brings that conifer freshness and a spicy touch.
Raspberry ties everything together with its jammy-like character. The only leather-raspberry perfume I would compare this to is Godolphin. That said, London is softer and easier to digest, as it lacks distinctive spices like saffron and the leather accord is nowhere as potent. Godolphin's leather is more in the Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum ballpark.
About 30 minutes into the wear, flowers and raspberry take a backseat, allowing leather to dictate the pace. It opens up into the good ol' seats in a luxury car kind of a vibe, combined with a touch of vanilla and a powdery warmth of amber. In the deeper drydown, London is comparable to Ombré Leather, except it lacks the earthy aspect and it's less sweet.
It lasts for 11+ hours on my skin with moderate to soft projection. To sum it up, you could say it's the brightest and easiest to wear out of all leather-raspberry creations. BTW if you enjoy the drydown phase but want more of a challenge, Cuir Infrarouge is the perfect candidate. Citruses and spices replace florals, making for a bittersweet composition.
