Leathery raspberry that knows how to seduce
Ladies and Gentleman,
sometimes you search in vain for a particular fragrance and sometimes you unexpectedly find it without having searched.
With Leather Trance it was the same for me.
Originally looking for a completely different fragrance from Prada, my way led me to the local perfumery. There I randomly tested various unknown perfumes, including Leather Trance by Birkholz. How I perceived him and what I liked so much about him, I report to you now.


The fragrance:
After spraying on, you immediately perceive a great raspberry, which is not too sweet or too sour. A mild fruitiness, which holds through the complete course of the fragrance.
In addition, there is a gentle leather, which is well perceivable, without headache factor or synthetics.
First, this combination creates a waxy nuance, which becomes increasingly leathery, but without masking the raspberry.
Some smoke accompanies the fragrance, but not smoke reminiscent of burnt wood or apartment fire, but rather creates a certain sensuality and wickedness.
In the drydown, the Italian strawflower comes to the fore, which is also known as immortelle or curry herb and this name is not by chance. Immortelle actually smells something like curry. But if you now think "yuck and that in a perfume", you are wrong here, because this curry is very subtle and gives the fragrance the necessary spice and volume. In addition, this component is perceptible only at the very end, when all other fragrances have already subsided and even then, you have to get pretty close with your nose to smell this out.


Conclusion:
This fragrance is unique. I have subsequently tested other perfumes, such as Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford, to find a similarly good fragrance, which is possibly a little cheaper, but nothing found, what approached this quality and overall impression.
The durability and sillage is also impressive. On clothing, the perfume holds several days without any problems and also on the skin are 12 hours and more no problem at all. You really have to be careful with the dosage, because Leather Trance is room-filling. It's a great balance between feminine raspberry (subtly accompanied and supported by peach) and a masculine leather accord, making it an excellent unisex scent. He fits best in the cooler days, to the autumn / winter, possibly still spring.
I am really thrilled by this perfume, not without reason I finally got around to buying a full-sized bottle of this expensive little water. You could say that this wicked raspberry seduced me to buy.
Allerding one should pay attention to special offers, otherwise it already hurts in the wallet.
Delivered the Birkholz flacon in a noble and elaborate black box, which it does not necessarily need, but makes it overall very chic and exclusive. The bottle itself is rather inconspicuous. Black glass, through which you can hardly see, a heavy cap, which, however, does not snap, the spray head rather moderate, whereby the highly concentrated perfume is distributed only in a small amount per spray (which, however, is quite good). The bottle would therefore be the only point of criticism that I could give here.
Overall, I can only recommend everyone to test this fragrance.

Summary:
Fragrance: 10
Durability: 10
Sillage: 10
Flacon: 6
Price-performance: 7

So if you perceive a seductive raspberry-leather scent on the street soon, close your eyes and follow this scent tail, it could well be that you suddenly stand in front of me when you open your eyes and I ask you with a knowing smile "well, do you like it?". Until then, I wish you much pleasure with this little frivolous fruit that is worth a sin.

Love, your Gentelman
