Leather Eau de Parfum

Acqua Di Parma Leather EDP opens with a moderate to a strong projection of leather, woody, faint fruit, and floral accords. The opening is mature, intense, bold, but not harsh, elegant, and refined. The leather is by far the most noticeable note, a natural leather, polished, with a suede touch, elegant, not pungent or animalic, and without that combustible or gasoline vibe found in leader prominent fragrances. A step behind is the guaiac wood, a woody smoky, and leathery note. Several steps behind are the raspberry, orange, and honeysuckle, adding a very shy sweet fruit, and white floral accord. The rest of the notes are there to provide support but don’t have any significant participation. The fragrance is linear, all featured notes come up as soon as the fragrance is applied and continue into the dry down. One Acqua Di Parma Leather EDP has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a moderate to a strong projection, leather, and guaiac wood fragrance with faint fruity, floral and spicy accords. The fragrance feels bold, casual, dense, dry, elegant, exotic, expensive, formal, gentle, high-quality, leathery, masculine, mature, modern, natural, nicely-blended, polished, refined, warm, woody, and very pleasant.

This fragrance is born like stories woven from the threads of time: the first breaths from a luxurious Italian leather bag, exuding the scent of the ancient craftsman pouring his soul into every thread and stitch. It is not just a leather scent, but a sensual poem that begins with light and completes in shadow. From the first spray, the Mediterranean Sea breeze rushes through a wave of Sicilian lemon and Brazilian orange, illuminated by red raspberry as a playful smile at the start of the journey. The freshness here is not superficial; it is a quick light that gleams before the colors shift toward a warmer and more mysterious depth. At the heart, a hidden garden blooms: soft rose, wavering honeysuckle, and green bitter orange shining like morning dew, while the sound of red thyme rises like oriental spices whispering warmth. Here, leather appears for the first time, neither harsh nor loud, but warm and soft like the page of an old notebook wrapped in a leather strap, blended with flowers and herbs in a harmony that amazes. As for the base, it is the climax of the story: a rich, luxurious note, deep and evocative, blended with smoky guaiacwood and the steadfast Atlas cedar. It's as if you are wearing a new leather jacket that smells of the remnants of a distant winter's fireplace smoke, or as if you open the door to an old library holding leather-bound books pulsating with memories. It is a fragrance that combines frankness and softness, featuring luxurious leather that harmoniously blends masculinity and femininity. Performance: long-lasting for many hours, with moderate to strong projection, making your presence felt even after you leave. Mood: evokes a sense of quiet strength and dignity mixed with elegance, like someone wearing a dark suit and carrying an Italian leather bag on a refined winter evening. And if Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather is loud and rebellious, then Acqua di Parma's Leather is the polished, aristocratic, quiet voice that doesn't need to shout to assert its presence. This perfume is the companion of cold evenings and formal nights, where its deep, leathery features shine most splendidly. Ideal for high-level business meetings, a luxurious dinner at an elegant restaurant, or as a finishing touch for a man who knows how to balance strength and refinement. In summer or hot weather, just a few sprays are enough to give it space to breathe without overpowering. Leather is not just a scent to be smelled, but an experience to be told. It is a statement of luxury, a personal signature written with leather, citrus, and flowers, leaving an indelible mark. It teaches you that true luxury does not come with noise, but with a deep calm that remains in memory. Ahmed Hadi – Baghdad – IRAQ

***Blind Buy Review* Well, after reading all these reviews, and ADP being my favourite brand, I had to blind buy this, it was on sale and felt like missing out on the deal would be a crime. When i first sprayed this onto myself, i felt that its different, but i did not really liked it. It is deeper then what I usually use in cold: darker, more agressive, far from my safe (most of the time synthetic) sweet choices This feels like taking a long walk somewhere on the countryside on an autumn or winter dawn, it’s dark outside and really frosty, the wind is feeezing cold, people are burning wood to keep themselves warm in their houses, you can smell it in the air. You get home after your mind has been cleared on the “fresh air”.You became calmer and ice cold inside and out, the leather jacket which suits you so well wasnt warm enough for the occasion, you take it off and while you are trying to put it onto the hanger with your frozen hands. You Catch a smell....... Fumy and Rigid smelling shiny black leather, smells like you’ve made some hard choices in your head outside, it is okay, thats the reason why you feel sharper and more pleased with yourself, dont worry you deserved this already. Unique and natural smelling leather at the same time. Wear it for harder days, or for a special occasion, maybe when it is windy and cold outside. 10/10 scent with great Longevity and an okay sillage, which could be better but you would probably choke someone out. I recommend it, but dont blind buy if you expect something uplifting.🙂

This is a great fragrance, but I have trouble actually discerning the leather. Everyone says it’s an amazing, realistic leather fragrance, but on my skin, it’s so well blended in with the other notes that I struggle to discern an actual leather note. On the other end, however, I have no trouble sniffing out the rose, raspberry, petit grain, and citrus, as well as some of the thyme towards the back end, and that smack in the face of smoky Guaiac wood which prevails for the first couple hours. Because of how it sits on my skin, I only get about 5 hours of good projection, and it isn’t full bodied enough for it to be a go-to for winter in cold climates, but it’s great above 45*f and under 90*f for me, which makes it pretty versatile. Once you’re safely in the dry down and out of the smoke, I’d say this is office friendly and would definitely distinguish you from your colleagues. It’s mature, sophisticated, and yet still current - it exudes confidence and intellect and it’s just as good on a night out as it is at the mall, in the office, or on a drive through the mountains, so long as you don’t intend to go clubbing On a side note, this is definitely not a sporty fragrance, I wouldn’t suggest you wear this to the gym, hiking, biking, or even golfing, this is definitely a more dressed up fragrance which requires a well dressed man for it to be at its best For me, a 7.5-8/10 Edit: I got my flacon in 2021, so I’m not sure if my review is consistent with newer formulations

I dunno. Other than being a leather dominant fragrance, I’m not seeing the comparisons to tom Ford Tuscan leather. Acqua di Parma Leather is beautifully intense - the Leather note almost comes across as a petroleum type smell - with the most subtle kick of sweetness and tangy-ness buried in the background. I think Tuscan leather and acqua di Parma leather certainly compare when you consider the fact that they are both “harsh” leathers - but in terms of actual smell similarity...I just don’t see it. I find this to be one of the more unique leathers I’ve come across - and its oddly satisfying. The opening is distractingly harsh - not a “that smells awful” type harsh - more of a “oh shit - maybe i should’ve spayed it once.” Within 20 minutes or so, the smack in the face wears off - and you’re left with a pleasant, slightly citrusy leather. I would also clarify, that although rose is listed in the notes, it’s not prominent. Again, I would think of a heavy “petrol” type scent when trying to compare this to others. There was one by histoiries de Parfums called Petroleum that kind of reminds me of this. I sold it a long time ago...it was definitely more rugged and less refined than this - but same ballpark. If you’re a fan of fairly rugged/masculine heavy leathers, I can see this being appealing. To me it’s a very nice Alternative to the standard “Tuscan leather” type scent. I’m a big fan

Leather Eau de Parfum (EDP) by Acqua di Parma is a leathery, floral and woody fragrance. Unlike the opening of the Leather Cologne Concentree (CC) where the citrus shines and gives it an air of a classic leather cologne, in the EDP version we have a more intense opening in something that seemed to me like a chocolate truffle with one or several fruity notes and leathery tone, almost like shoe polish cream. As time goes by, the rose note increases and comes to the foreground, leaving the leathery aroma as its companion. After more than an hour, a wood base remains with a touch of animalic musk, while the rose and leather remain present. Leather Eau de Parfum is elegant and formal, perfect for events or special situations and preferably for use between autumn and winter. Its longevity was good for me, a little more than 8 hours, although the sillage was average. There are some differences between the EDP and CC versions, mainly in the presence of citrus, which is almost absent in the black bottle version. They are both very good fragrances, but I think I like the Cologne version a little more because it is a little more versatile.

Just because fragrances have the same notes doesn't mean they smell similar or the same. This doesn't smell anything like Tuscan Leather. This is a smokey dark rough leather fragrance that some might find hard to wear, especially with the opening. However, to me, this is a rich elegant fragrance. In the opening, you will get a strong but classy smokey dark rough leather with a toned-down raspberry note that doesn't smell sweet or sugary. People that aren't used to rough or strong leather might think the opening smells a bit animalic, but I agree with people that say this smells like a well-conditioned leather seat in a classic sports car. The scent stays a predominantly leather fragrance through its lifespan but it's tamed down as it develops. To me, you don't get a recognizable rose note but you get the feel of a rose petal. Giving this leather a silky feel, the same as feeling a silky rose pedal. With the mid and base notes of honeysuckle and cedar along with lingering citrus top notes, this scent dries down to a tame semi-fresh woody leather.

The leather note is incredible right from the start; it is probably the strongest and most natural leather note I've ever encountered (even more pronounced than in the Leather Colonia). This note is very animalic in its naturalism but not "dirty," reminding me more of sun-tanned, rustic, and bronzed leather tools than the smell of a sweaty animal and other bodily odors, as in Kouros. Edit: It seems this version and the Leather Colonia are exactly the same fragrance. I haven't compared them side by side, but one really reminded me of the other, with strong impressions right from the opening. From the start, there is a quite smoky oud that brings similarities to the house's Oud & Spice and really solidifies for me that, contrary to what I previously thought, Acqua di Parma is not just about fresher, naturalistic, and minimalist (or barber-shop) fragrances but also has some of the best dark and "niche" fragrances on the market.

I thought I was done with this brand after trying almost 10 fragrances which is my usual bar that sets if the brand is good enough to invest in But here emerges one of the best made fragrances from this house that I rarely hear about The statement I have about this scent is that it’s one of the best depictions of rugged dirty dark leather you could ever get your nose on It’s not the best by a long shot but you can definitely align it with other greats such as Tuscan leather and ombre leather This is what you call leather I still can’t understand the old fragrances that supposedly are leather dominant and when you smell them all you get is orange or citrus (looking at you bel ami ) Performance is perfect if you have any appreciation for dark leather it’s a choice you shouldn’t ignore

One of the best leather fragances of all time. The image it projects is really contradictory. Its grunge yet its sophisticated, its feminine yet masculine... The best way i can explain it is if you imagine the sexiest woman that you can think of, and shes wearing **your** leather jacket, its mid october but the air is still warm somehow. Its a unisex fragrance, but i feel like its more so made for the female gaze (atleast to me), it could be a bit suffocating if worn in warm weather but thats why it's a perfect autumn/winter night time perfume (i wouldnt mind someone wearing it in spring/summer but only during night!) Overall its a 10/10, i couldnt imagine any sexier perfume than this.

A very noticeable bay leaf note is what characterises this leather perfume. And the official list of notes does not even mention it. It's complex, smokey, mature, elegant, but unique as well. Most people will not be smelling of smoked spices with leather, and this will definitely invite curiosity with its unusual and mysterious projection. Though it is prominent, it is not aggressive. This is because of its mature, base note heavy presence. I love it, and find it to be best for cool/cold evenings. Nothing skanky but not citrusy either. Smokey, spicy, and a touch of sweetness....

Fantastic leather scent. Just what you would expect from ADP. It has that typical ADP Italian elegance you find in their other offerings like the oud fragrance. Had to spray it on skin to experience it though, so don't trust the tester strip in this instance. The leather accord is similar to that of la yuqawam, but the raspberry note is less prominent, making it less sweet. As the votes will tell you this is a manly frag, no unisex fragrance here (you do you ofc).The performance is good and the projection as well. Love this stuff.

30 minutes of P.U. 6 hours of brilliance. I have several leather fragrances but the dry down on this is just divine. At first it is heavy leather and a little wet ashtray but waiting out the first 30 minutes brings a big reward. Dry down is a masterful blend of leather with citrus and rose. The raspberry adds a perfect touch. Definitely wear this before buying to experience the dry down. I rate this as just above Dark Lord then Tuscan Leather then Ombré Leather. It’s just that good and at a much more reasonable price point.

This is a very warm, smokey, masculine leather. It is robust, linear - although potentially the hickory smoke dies back a little. There are spice and wood in there too. It lasts 6ish hours with good projection and cillage, 12 hrs as a skin scent, 24hrs as a clothes scent. "Linear" is an insult usually on perfume sites, but not to me. I wear it any time of day, any time of year. It always works. To me, TF Hombré Leather smells effete and floral next to this. I like the TF, but... It's got no balls. This has balls.

I recently tried out the Leather Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma, and it's an absolute delight! I'm wearing it today with Verde by Ajmal, and they work together perfectly! The Leather smells of a luxe, smoky leather scent that is robust yet smooth - it complements the Verde's sweet, light fragrance wonderfully. It's not too strong either, so it doesn't overpower either scent, but rather enhances them both. I can't recommend this combination highly enough - it creates an unforgettable scent that lingers for hours!

First time I smelled on a mouillette it was very weird. I put it in the car drawer and the day after it was smelling like burned leather. Then I tried on skin and it is totally different. What I pick up after the citrus opening it's a fantastic combo of rose and leather. After few hours it dries down on a creamy leather smoothed with cedar. I don't find it very similar to TL. Cold weather and yes, wearing it together with a black leather jacket makes you feel badass with style.

I used to love this fragrance, but over the years my bottle has become stronger and stronger and more intense. I just need to touch the aromatizer in order to smell all day long. I love the scent, but my bottle is so strong I cant wear it if im not outside. I just took one spray before going to work and it was the first time i got pulled in to HR department and was told not to use parfume any more 🤣. Have been using more fresh scents lately and no issue with the HR 😅

This is too good. Love at first sniff. Leather usually tends to become animalic on my skin and here it isnt the case, its smokey and raw and it reminds me of a brown leather. It becomes a tad bit fruity floral in the dry down still with that strong smokey leather, i also think the opening is just divine so good that leather and citrus, i just wished it lasted longer. Very elegant sophisticated and luxurious im definitely getting a full bottle.

UPDATE. It's been reformulated now. Not sure on differences but this latest bottle seems to possibly have birch added to it? Not sure. So far I don't enjoy as much as the original formulation, so I'm returning this bottle and already ordered a 'vintage' version. Old/Original formula code 08873/A, new one is 16197. Batch code is 3132Y which comes out to 2022-11-09. So it's been reformulated since -at least- Nov 2022. Shame. Figured I'd update.

It is NOT a dirty leather. What it does smell like is a rich leather couch ina gentleman's smoking room.....there is a beautiful smokiness like an expensive cigar or cigarettes, mixed with a bouquet of spices such as black cardamom. Floral trails of oriental bouquets add to the aura of an exclusive gentleman's club with expensive flower arrangements. I could wish for greater projection, but then again, a gentleman never shouts his presence.
