What does French Leather (Eau de Parfum) smell like?

The top holds pink pepper, juniper berry, lime and bergamot, while the heart brings Turkish rose, clary sage and hay absolute. Suede and Virginia cedar form a woody, leathery base, and the sweet and spicy accords run through it.

Voters rate longevity and sillage as good. Most pick fall and spring, and evening, night out and leisure draw similar shares. Both feminine and masculine votes appear, so it reads open to either. Atkinsons 24 Old Bond Street and Penhaligon's Endymion Concentré have a close profile.
