What does Swedish Leather smell like?
Its longevity and sillage are both rated strong. Most voters pick winter and fall, and it is chosen mostly for evenings and nights out. Though unisex, most voters read it as masculine.
Saffron, sage and frankincense lead the top, softened by ylang-ylang and osmanthus. The heart holds leather, resins and violet, with basil staying in the background. In the base, tobacco, oud and Virginia cedar settle it into a woody, animalic depth. Guerlain Cuir Intense and House of Orpheus Seraph have a close profile.
