The one leather

The extrait version of Falcon Leather is really, I mean, REALLY good. It quickly dries down to the most wonderful, realistic leather scent that's smooth and creamy. There might be a little something else (spice, smoke, etc.) in the background but the leather rules. It's the best leather fume I've smelled to date and also trumps Falcon Leather EdP, which is rougher around the edges. This is clearly a masculine fragrance, not unisex.

I also compared it to Leather Eau de Parfum which I had previously tested but still had a sample. I thought highly of it at the time. I can easily say Leather does not come close to Falcon Leather Extrait which is so much better.

Longevity and projection are both very good, improving on the EdP in these departments as well. The only thing holding me back from ordering a bottle is the price. I definitely want it but Falcon Leather Extrait will have to be a special purchase.

Just bought a full bottle, though not at full price. I agree with you on the cost. I also bought a bottle of Frederic Malle The Moon. Though these are fantastic perfumes, you reach a point where the exorbitant price makes these perfumes less valuable.

@Smirky: These bottles look like contract-manufactured by PCW, a vendor in Grasse. So, you may be right about the cost.

Yeah, and what hurts more is that supposedly the company's cost for the bottle is more than it costs them to make liquid inside it!

Just a heads up, Tester bottles of this and the rest of the line can be picked up on Facebook groups for a third of the RRP. This and Radical Rose Extrait are both incredible.

Nice that you got to compare them! I like the Edp a lot but I’ll definitely give the extrait a sniff too!

I think you will like this one better! But not the price. :-(

@Smirky I've been testing more leather-forward frags lately, and creamy-smooth + background spice sounds like such a nice combo with the masculine leather - another one for the Parfumo biker gang!

Nice, not surprised this one is the winner given the ingredients.
But that also results in a steep price, at least our girls know what to get us for that really special occasion. 😂
