What does Leather Essence smell like?
Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure, evening and night-out wear, and voters mostly call it masculine and classic.
It opens with clove, bergamot and bitter orange, giving a spicy, bright start. In the heart, black leather, tonka bean and cinnamon build a sweet, powdery leathery character. The base of cedarwood, vanilla, gaiac wood and patchouli leaves a woody, oriental finish. Mercedes-Benz Select Night and Extè J'S Extè Man have a close profile.
