From your scent profile
Rabanne Burning Leather is a unisex scent that sets leather and labdanum against the sweetness of Bourbon vanilla and maple syrup.
Skunky's take: Sleeps by day, goes out at night; very skunk of it.

SmokyWhat does Burning Leather smell like?
Its longevity is rated strong and its sillage good, though the number of votes is small, so those ratings are still tentative. It carries no gender lean, and its gourmand, leathery character is easy to share.
Sweet and gourmand tones lead: vanilla and maple syrup give a sugary warmth, while leather and labdanum draw a resinous, faintly smoky backdrop. Orris butter softens the sweetness, and spicy and woody touches add depth.
