I would love to get into leather fragrances.

I would honestly love to get into leather fragrances but i have yet to find an option that I feel like its worth it. The best that I have found so far would be Falcon leather by Matiere Premiere, although its a good scent that i really enjoyed, it turned into a charcoally woody scent for me rather quickly, so it wasnt quite the leather that I was hoping for. Somtimes I have to smell fragrances that I already know to fully enjoy them so feel free to suggest any fragrance no matter how known they are. I would appreciate any suggestions!

Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum has been my go-to since it got cold enough to wear my leather jacket, it comes off a bit heavy on the leather but not in the nauseating synthetic leather way, more like a luxury car type leather. Once it dries down it mellows out and lets the other notes shine, jasmine is most-forward to me and I really enjoy it. It also last a REALLY long time, projects and fills a room easily, I don't do more than 3 sprays and I believe they made the volume of liquid that sprays out smaller for this exact reason. Easily my favorite winter fragrance, but it's "fresh" enough where I feel like it might work for summer as well. I liked it so much I bought another 100ml bottle as a backup for my 50ml... well I vastly overestimated how little liquid fragrances spray, I've been using it at least once a week all winter and I'm barely through what seems like 10ml.

Dark Mystery I only have a decant of this but if I didn't have a second bottle of Ombre Leather I definitely see myself getting a small bottle of this. The leather in it smells kinda synthetic but just like the Tom Ford it mellows out in the drydown into a fresher more flowery version.

I struggle with leather personally, I find that it smells too mature on me, but these are my favs:

Ink Super unique tar-like leather accord, despite not containing leather. Usually leathery fragrances are combined with warm spices and woods, but this one smells distinctly cool and impersonal. Love how dark it is.

The Cobra & The Canary The lemon is sharp and contrast the leather nicely. A really beautiful dichotomy that balanced brightness and dampness.

The Silk Road perhaps a more classic leather with warm spices. The tobacco adds a lovely sweetness. Definitely the easiest to wear of the three.

Hope you find what you’re looking for!

Deified Tony Iommi spicy green apple opening then rose-leather. Thick, black leather.

Falcon Leather Eau de Parfum is good but Falcon Leather Extrait de Parfum is even better.

Dark Mystery
Ink
Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition
A strong leather vibe with a premium feel, definitely worth it.

@Apollo2201 if you want a more "approachable" leather - since you mentioned just getting into this note, or trying to find a version that's more palatable - I'd highly recommend Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum, like @NotCreative also suggested (but I don't really get the jasmine they mentioned).

Try Ombré Leather (2018) Eau de Parfum first, smooth, wearable and one of the best modern leather starters without going too harsh or smoky. The Silk Road is a nice spicier, more exotic take while Club de Nuit Intense Man Limited Edition can ease you into darker masculine territory before full leather.

I’ve got a couple of suggestions in one of my blogs: https://www.parfumo.com/Users/Ceesie/Blog/Article/quest-for-leather

I hope you find them useful!

Clean Suede is pretty good clean leather smell, the pine and yuzu kind of give new car with air freshener in it. Nostos is a little more deluxe with rose and oud but overall has a leathery composition.

If you're still exploring leather fragrances, I'd try a few different styles before deciding whether the note is for you. Some leathers lean very clean and suede-like, while others are much darker, smokier, or even a little animalic.

If you enjoy darker compositions, you might also like fragrances where the leather isn't the main note but blends with oud, woods, and spices. LinBerlin's Oud-e-Zulmat, a black oudh attar, gives me that impression. The combination of oud, patchouli, saffron, amber, sandalwood and musk creates a rich, dark character that feels slightly leathery on my skin, even though it's not marketed as a leather fragrance.

Apart from that, I'd also sample classics like Tuscan Leather, Ombré Leather, and Cuir Béluga because they each take leather in a very different direction.

Out of curiosity, are you looking for a smooth suede-style leather, or something darker, smokier, and more rugged?

I'm going to be direct. If you want the best (to me and many people) realistic raw leathery fragrance go for Cuoium .

Smoky, intense, raw leather with a touch of iris. It's not safe blind buy, but still majestic !

My favorite is Anubis

Guilty Absolute pour Homme

I really like soft leather! So i would suggest trying Animalique or Crème de Cuir Eau de Parfum ! Both are on my wishlist!
