What does Leather Forever smell like?

Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick autumn and winter, and it leans towards evenings and nights out, while daytime and summer wear are rare.

It opens with cinnamon, Persian saffron and black truffle alongside leather, with rosebud softening the spicy edge. In the heart, patchouli, vetiver, oud and birch build a woody, earthy, smoky base. Castoreum, amber and vanilla then turn the drydown resinous, warm and slightly powdery. Boadicea the Victorious Mayfair and Dior Leather Oud have a close profile.
