What does Exquisite Leather smell like?

Most voters pick fall and winter, with evenings and nights out leading the occasions. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters find it masculine, and some call it modern.

It opens with cardamom, raspberry, apple and pink pepper, so sweet fruit meets a spicy edge. In the heart, leather, bourbon whiskey, juniper and orris root give a smoky, leathery body. The base of musk, sandalwood and cedarwood adds woody warmth. Roos & Roos Purple Leather and M. Micallef Notorious XO have a close profile.
