What does Leather Shot smell like?

Longevity is good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall, then spring and winter, with summer far behind. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and most voters read it as masculine.

It opens with bitter orange, Guatemala cardamom and Iranian cumin, a spicy, slightly sharp start. At the heart, black tea, iris and leather come forward, and the base settles into Virginia cedar, sandalwood, driftwood and Haitian vetiver. Tom Ford Eau d'Ombré Leather and Parfums de Marly Athalia have a close profile.
