Yves semi-leather
Just another day on Parfumoternia. Bald Man, also known as Prince Bastian, had recently successfully repelled the wild souk horde and now devoted himself to testing YSL Wild Leather, Yves Semi-Leather. As Prince, he always wore his blond wig, which was why he was called Blondie. Actually, that's how he was called friends. So he was now spraying on the scent courageously, already tinkering with a comment full of wit and wordplay. But suddenly he heard the voice of the sorceress, who was the only one who knew his secret: "Soon Man, we need you! The dark forces are breaking through the fortress, the Worldstone is in danger!"
"Alright, Gandixeress, I'm on my way!"
So he rushed to his tiger (actually a chicken) and spoke the magic formula, "By the power of Baldhead, I have the hair tonic!"
Off went the wild ride, his warhorse, or rather his oversized giant chicken, Battle Polly, struck.

As he did so, he became aware of the scent of perfume. At first leather peeled out, which was slightly sweet, Soon Man thought of something licorice. Soon vanilla added itself, which added a new facet to the leather, drawing it milder while not making it too gourmand and sweet at all. Rather, the scent was balanced, the leather full-bodied and present even though it smelled rather moderate in itself. The licorice was joined by a woody note, rather delicate and also sweetish, the guaiac wood strengthened this side of Wild Leather.

While Bald Man rode and pondered like this, his wig fluttered away due to the strong wind. Annoying. Arriving bald at the castle, he instantly grabbed his hair tonic, poured it liberally on his head, and with wild battle cries, charged at the fiends trying to enter the castle. Gandixeress, meanwhile, conjured up buckets of scents with a skunk accord to ward off the foes. Anyway - to fast-forward a bit - only Bald Man and his antagonist, a man with a full head of long hair, ended up facing each other. Bald Man attacked, slipped on his wig somehow scattered here, and accidentally poured the hair water on the unnamed antagonist who was directly transformed into a HUGE hair tuft entity.
"And of course, nothing grows on my plate..." grumbled Bald Man. So once again he and the sorceress beat the opponents.
Battle Polly meanwhile sniffed at Prince Bastian and Wild Leather again. Here she noticed that the scent had almost disappeared and became a mushy potpourri. Very pleasing, now rather suede freshly impregnated, plus a slightly tart leg note.

Joking aside, Wild Leather is not wild but quite the opposite, the fragrance is tamed. This is absolutely fine because here we have the rarely working attempt to combine leather, make it more pleasing and accessible to a wider mass. Vanilla and similar consorts have been incorporated wisely, the leather doesn't drown in it. So: YSL - Wild Leather is a good entry-level scent as far as leather is concerned. Likewise, it is suitable for friends of moderate leather smell.

With thanks to Gandixeress and Bald Man aka Prince Bastian.

Suede or suede leather
Wild Leather is the new fragrance from YSL's La Vestiaire series. What did they put in our wardrobe this time, after we had to wait a very long time for it to appear: wild leather or suede? Because suede doesn't have to be wild. Everyone has associations. For me, it's often the suede men's blousons from the 1990s. Stubborn people still wear them today. You didn't and don't look bad dressed in them. Otherwise shoes, bags, gloves, upholstered furniture.
The name means but probably not suede, which in English yes rather with suede or velour.
It is supposed to be wild leather. Or not? The fragrance pyramid indicates suede. Also black leather. Whereas with my eyes closed, I probably couldn't smell a difference between a black and a brown leather jacket.
To make a long story short, it's not a wild or even nefarious leather. It's a gentle, but classy leather. It even starts off a little fresh-peppery with a bouquet of florals. Definitely unisex. The leather note that enters is not dominant, it blends in and thus the overall impression goes more to a fine handbag, briefcase or leather gloves that come from a department store where the leather goods section is right next to the perfumery. It's not the leather smell of a new satchel and the leather isn't fresh from the tannery. It has taken on the subtle hint of florals and spices, even I would say the hint of luxury, but without coming across as ostentatious.
The fragrance I see, or rather: smell, on ladies and gentlemen, not exactly with the youngest. For me, it would have liked to be rougher. Oh the listed licorice note does not reveal itself to me. Sometimes I like the combination licorice-leather very much.
The durability and sillage is enormous and the fragrance still hangs a day later in the shirt.
Whether I would wear it in the summer- rather not. Maybe on a cool summer evening, when the citrus cologne or the Aquate, which one wore during the day, has long since given up the ghost.
The Wild Leather is now nothing new or even unusual and price-wise one comes with comparable fragrances also sometimes cheaper to the train.
But he fits well into La Vestiaire - in the wardrobe of men and women who appreciate good
