What does Sultan Leather smell like?

It opens with elemi resin, nutmeg, pepper and saffron, a warm and spicy start. In the heart, cedarwood and Indian sandalwood build a woody body, with geranium softening it slightly. At the base, Siam benzoin sweetens the scent, while blond leather and black musk leave a warm, leathery trail.

Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick fall and winter, and summer comes well behind. It leans towards evenings and nights out, and it also works for leisure time. Most voters read it as masculine, with a classic side as well. Parfums de Marly Haltane has a close profile.
