What does British Leather smell like?

Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer a small minority. Leisure, night out and evening are the favoured occasions, while business and daily wear get fewer votes. Longevity and sillage are both rated good. Most voters call it masculine and classic.

Bergamot opens it with a fresh lift, violet leaf adds a green touch in the heart, and leather takes over the base. Fresh and green accords sit side by side, while spicy, woody, animal and smoky tones harden the leathery character. After the fresh start it settles into a dry, dark leather.
