What does Ombré Leather 16 smell like?

Black leather, patchouli and moss build a dark, earthy backbone, while cardamom adds a spicy edge and violet leaf a faint green freshness. Jasmine sambac brings a sweet, floral softness that rounds off the leather.

Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Most voters pick fall and winter, and very few choose summer; evenings and nights out suit it best. It reads masculine more often than feminine, though many call it feminine. Tom Ford Ombré Leather (2018) and Atelier Materi Cuir Nilam share a close profile.
