What does Leather in Bourbon smell like?

Suede and birch tar form the leathery core, while cumin, cardamom and pink pepper bring the spice and thyme adds a faint herbal edge. Patchouli and Australian sandalwood lay down a woody, earthy base, styrax and balsam sweeten it, and orris concrete adds a quiet floral touch.

Its longevity is rated good and its sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer chosen least. It leans towards nights out and evenings, and is also worn for leisure. Tom Ford Ombré Leather and Karakash Mysterious Shadow have a close profile.
