What does Leather Garden smell like?

Most voters recommend it for autumn and winter, and for evenings and nights out, though spring gets a fair share too. Longevity and sillage are rated good, but those scores rest on few votes. Voters lean towards calling it masculine rather than feminine, with some also calling it classic or modern.

It opens with blueberry and basil blossom. The heart is floral: lily of the valley, hyacinth, rose, narcissus and peony. In the base, sequoia, vetiver, leather and oud add an earthy, spicy depth, with animal and synthetic touches among the accords. Afnan Perfumes Rare Carbon and Avon Black Suede Dark have a close profile.
