I can’t help it…

But I have to score this a perfect 10. I’m always on the lookout for a good leather scent and this one came on my path. Someone must have mentioned it in the shoutouts on this very website. It scores a whopping 9.0 based on 3000+ ratings. My first thought was: Wow that must be one massively mass-appealing scent, I’m not sure I’ll like it. But that’s too good not to check it out.

I started off carefully spraying it in a shop. Just as I thought, it doesn’t jump right at you. It’s really smooth. Almost a bit vanillic-tobaccoish. There’s supposed to be oud in the top notes but I don’t even really detect that. It’s soft, balming, some fruity sweetness and some flowery cleanliness far away, but with a powerful presence of a heavy note of leather or tobacco that’s exactly in the right amount. What a masterfully, perfectly blended scent this is.

Is this the perfect leather scent? Well no. I can’t really categorize it as a full on leather. If this perfume were a jacket, it wouldn’t be a leather jacket, more like a jacket with leather attributes. But a beautiful one nonetheless.

I’m now working my way through a decant. Sillage is good. It gets picked up by the people around me but it doesn’t fumigate the room. It lasts me through the day, 10+ hours so great longevity as well. When I’m done with the decant I’ll save up for a full bottle.

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.

The best raspberry perfume in the world

When you wear this wonderful creation, everyone will smell you and miss a beat from this sexy raspberry that leaves a scent behind you for a long distance.

The leather blends with the raspberry in an amazing way and as the perfume dries down the raspberry becomes more sour and still dominant.

One day I wore Widian - London when I went to get a tattoo and when I entered the studio, everyone, just everyone asked me what this amazing smell was and it created a long conversation about this perfume.
I really love this perfume.

I don't understand the comparison between Widian London and the perfume: Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum, because the quality is heaven and earth in favor of Widian - London.
You simply can't compare.

For me, this is a masterpiece perfume that is a must in the collection.

10/10.

Great alternative to Tuscan Leather

I will start this review by saying that between London and Tuscan leather I notice NO strong difference, they are very similar. The only thing which Widian does better is the nice lilly of the valley note to give the harshness of the leather a bit of an edge.

For what performance goes, it is a true monster, 12 hours at least with projection for at least 6 .. the ingredients must be really good and maybe the concentration up to 20% so that it can also have some elevation from the alcohol, otherwise would be too close to the skin.

I do enjoy it a lot, I think if you have this .. makes no sense to get the TL too or vice-versa. Per se a good release, but if its only quality is that it copies quite well Tuscan Leather .. I am not very happy with the creativity of the perfumer Jordi Fernandez, which actually co-created Montblanc Explorer as an alternative to Aventus.

London

OK.... take Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum who obviously grew up in a single parent household. Not in a bad neighborhood but hung out with a few of the not so great kids. Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum was still a very likeable kid and did well in life considering his past. On the other hand, you have "Sapphire Collection - London | Widian / AJ Arabia" who grew up in a 2 parent household, golden retriever, bidet and a butler. Hung out in the best of circles. A student. Piano player. Fencing. Horseback riding. Smooth. Refined. Did very very well in life. That's what "Sapphire Collection - London | Widian / AJ Arabia" is compared to Tuscan Leather Eau de Parfum. Both are good. "Sapphire Collection - London | Widian / AJ Arabia" is preferable and overall better.
