Eau de Toilette

Molton Brown Russian Leather Eau de Toilette is a unisex scent that sets black leather, vetiver and cade juniper wood against a smoky, resinous backdrop. It opens with black tea, purple basil and elemi resin, which read fresh, green and spicy. Siberian stone pine, birch and tobacco take over in the heart, and the base of vetiver, black leather and cade juniper wood dries down woody and leathery. Longevity is rated good and sillage moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, with spring not far behind and summer rarely chosen. It leans towards leisure and evening wear, and close to half of voters find it masculine. Memo Paris Irish Leather and Byredo Cuir Sellier have a close profile.
