Leather Skies

At the moment, you can get these perfumes in Poland for less than £20. I've always wanted to try AllSaints fragrances, but they were a bit too pricey for me to blind buy, especially since the reviews are so mixed. With the current price, I took a gamble and I'm really chuffed with my decision – the scent is lovely. It feels like I've smelled it somewhere before, but not in a perfume – maybe a shop used something similar as an air freshener. The fragrance has a leather note, but it's very soft, like suede gloves, and it's beautifully sweetened and smoothed out by olibanum and sandalwood. I reckon you could wear it all year round, except for the hot summer days. The longevity is decent – about 7-8 hours, with moderate projection. They might be worth the full price – I ordered Flora Mortis yesterday and I can’t wait to try it. INTERESTING FACT! There's a rumour going around that this fragrance line is being replaced by another one, so this might be your last chance to buy them. My bottle is from 2020.

I am borderline obsessed with this scent, so pleasant and quite memorable. This smells very expensive as if it is a niche fragrance. this has strong woody notes in it that make it creamy aka sandalwood and the balsamic note adds so much richness to it. And it is in a way a little bit fresh too in its first minutes but on the spicy side. Simple but great in its formulation. The best out of every fragrance that I smelt in this line.

Such a light sweet resinous musk of awesomeness🪵 I love how confident and calm this fragrance makes me feel in the most sexiest androgynous way🫦 It's a nice leather fragrance for the summer that doesn't feel tacky on the skin. I just imagine this fragrance feeling like a soft kiss on the quietest still evening✨️. For any male, this would be a safe blind buy since it is not aggressive at all.

Here’s a simple review: this thing is just magical! Very glad I decided to blind buy. I got many many compliments and it lasts pretty long. Sorry to read all the disappointing reviews here, but I guess it works optimally with my skin. I’ll take 20 more batches of this and bathe in it!

I love this fragrance...on my partner. It was much more masculine than I expected but still so lovely that I gave it to him. To me this has the bittersweetness I get from grapefruit, the leather is true and clean, and the sandalwood unites all the notes.

at first, this scent smells to me like an inscence in a church. then it opens up to a beautiful, magical woody, a bit balsamic fragrance. i really loved it! it’s very interesting and cheap.

AllSaints Leather Skies EDP opens with a moderate projection of leather, spicy, smokey, and sweet resinous notes. The opening is fragrant, not strong but noticeable, it feels mature, nocturnal, churchy, sweet balsamic, and pleasant. The olibanum and leather are the most noticeable notes. The olibanum comes across as a fresh, incense, smokey, resinous, woody, and peppery note. The leather positions itself side by side with the olibanum, a white aromatic type of leather, not animalic or too strong, yet very pleasant and natural. The manufacturer cites cistus as a note. The fragrance contains a clear sweet resinous, and warm note that softens and balances the dark tones of the olibanum. The sweetness and warmth of this note are typical of the cistus and sandalwood. The fragrance contains a faint cistus musky note that acts as a light projecting accord but it isn’t animalic or offensive. The fragrance has a minimum opening to dry down changes; the opening feels moist, and the projection is moderate; the dry down is dry and the projection recedes a bit to moderate to low becoming a more intimate or personal space fragrance. The lineup of notes remains the same from opening to dry down. Once AllSaints Leather Skies EDP has reached its full dry down, it can be summarized as a moderate to low projection, sweet resinous (cistus, sandalwood), leather, and incense (olibanum) fragrance with spicy and woody accords. The fragrance feels casual, churchy, classy, dark, dense, dry, elegant, exotic, formal, gentle, high-quality, masculine, mature, mild, mysterious, natural, nicely-blended, nocturnal, resinous, refined, rich, short-lived, smoky, spicy, spiritual, sweet, warm, woody, and pleasant. BATCH REVIEWED: 2020 (#Y19509B). WOW RATING: 8/10. A great sweet resinous, leather, and incense fragrance with low performance. DISLIKE RATING: 3/10. The leather, and incense are noticeable accords. UNIQUENESS: 9/10. A well-blended fragrance with a unique touch. MASS APPEAL: 5/10. A quality mature dark/sweet fragrance but not a crowd-pleaser. PROJECTION: 2/10. Low, about 2 feet around the wearer, a personal space fragrance. SILLAGE: 2/10. Low, about 2 feet behind the wearer, an elegant intimate fragrance. APPLICATION: 6 atomizations. LONGEVITY: 6/10. Very good, about 5 hours, but it projects only for less than 1 hour, then it recedes quickly to personal space and remains that way for a long time. SEASONS: Winter, fall, colder days, nights, and climate-controlled environments. OCCASIONS: Formal events, outdoor gatherings, office, casual, holidays, clubbing. This is an office-friendly fragrance. VERSATILITY: 5/10. A fragrance ideal for mild or cold weather and nighttime wear. GENDER: Masculine. Advertised as unisex, the leather and incense notes tilt it to the masculine side. AGES: 30 and above. This fragrance requires an appreciation for dark, leathery, and sweet resinous fragrances. RECOMMENDATION: AllSaints Leather Skies EDP can be purchased for about $79. As an EDP, its performance (longevity and projection) should be better but falls short compared to other fragrances from the same house. On the other hand, it is a nicely blended fragrance that projects elegance, ideal for intimate occasions. It is nice to have. BLIND-BUY: Yes, but only if you are familiar with its main notes.

This is very smokey on my skin, so this for me is a fall-winter perfume. It may sound silly, but the scent may depend on where I am using this. At first, I tried it in rainy London in April, it was 12-13C, it was windy and cloudy and this balsamy-leathery perfume was just perfect for the gloomy mood. Then I came home and ordered online, summer came, and I felt too heavy for the dry, central part of Europe. I started to use it again this September, and it is smokey-balsamic, not leathery, but then again, I am not in London anymore. The weather here is much drier. It is a bit masculine, but I like to wear it with my leather jacket anyway. At the end of the day, it became a bit warmer, I think it is the amber. Staying power is moderate, but only on clothes, on the skin is much weaker. Also, my boyfriend has Santal 33, and this is not even close. Santal has no smoke in it, and maybe no balsamic notes either. This has both.

I had such a weird scent memory when I first smelled this. This smells exactly like a leather goods shop that my dad and I would always stop by whenever we took a day trip to Tijuana. The leather is slightly raw, as perhaps the curing process was shorter. It doesn't smell dirty, but there's definitely a musk in this formula. The leather has absorbed some of the smells of the open air shop and some of it has been out and exposed to the hot sun. After that, it gets sweeter and loses that vibe. The olibanum gives it a lemony almost citrus feeling mixed with incense. Incense and sandalwood take over at that point. It's not my favorite leather in the world (GGA) or my 2nd (Clive Christian C Oudh Intense) or my 3rd (Tuscan Leather), but I think it's an interesting offering that I'd definitely wear. Points for originality and reminding me of my childhood. Scent 7/10 Performance TBD

This is my second All Saints frag after Incense City. Opens up with a mild leather and olibanum and settles pretty quickly into its sandalwood mid. I don’t get the comparison to Santal 33 other than the light sandalwood but I can even say they’re distant relatives lol. The olibanum stays present throughout while the leather fades pretty quickly. A great buy sub $50 right now , I mainly grabbed it after hearing rumblings of discontinuation. But I may actually keep it as it’s pretty versatile given how light it wears. Although it has some notes that are typically strong, this is pretty toned down and can be even worn on cooler summer evenings. Grab it while you can if you like this style.

A sweet leather fragrance. It's more of a new leather (which I like) vs lived in. I will be spraying this on my all saints leather jacket to keep it smelling good. As I'm smelling it now the sweetness seems to be from an almond slightly milky note.....Ok I have to go smell TF FFabulous to see if this is the same profile....as the other All Saints to me have been reminiscent of other fragrances. Very interesting.....for now I will say its more towards TF Santal Blush

A white leather couch next to a bonfire, with a very strong roundness from the resin. That frankincense type of note is very sickly and sweet and round, and is not my personal favorite. The leather/smoke/resin combo exudes a very powdery effect overall, and it's effective if you want a very different experience to other citruses or spicy things on your shelf. Fairly strong as well on skin, from night to morning I could smell remnants on my wrists the next day.

Not bad for what it is. Very sandalwood heavy and reminiscent of Bois de Balincourt and Santal 33.

A sweetened woody amber with a touch of incense smoke and some indistinct florals buried beneath the woody noise. Perhaps a little thin and high pitched for me personally but overused modern woody amber materials have always been my perfumery Kryptonite. Having said all that, I can see how others might find it enjoyable because it somehow feels instantly familiar, maybe because it seems distantly related to Santal 33. It is much easier to wear, and without the dill pickle angle which makes S33 so polarizing and uncomfortable for many people. While it’s not necessarily my cup of tea, it is competently put together and it did garner a few unsolicited compliments the few times I took it out for a test drive.

They're not the same but I do believe that Santal 33 was a strong influence in the creation of Leather Skies. Leather Skies is sweeter and brighter where Santal 33 is drier and dustier. From the Allsaints fragrances that I've tried (Metal Wave, Sunset Riot and Leather Skies), they do tend to borrow heavily from renowned fragrances but put their own twist on it. I'm surprised to see more downvotes than upvotes on Santal 33 in the 'Reminds me of...' section. Very pleasant fragrance with decent longevity and moderate sillage. If you're a fan of Santal 33, maybe give this one a go.

Stays detectable on your skin for surprisingly long (it's been 12 hours and I can still smell traces of it) but doesn't impress. Has a sort of plastic leather layered with spices vibe that I don't appreciate. 5/10

Pretty much a Sandalwood fragrance through and through.

Yup, smells like somewhat sweet, buttery leather.

Incredibly disappointing to me. Thought this was a shoe-in for me given the other reviews but I found this too powdery, too feminine, and lacking anything resembling leather. I also do not understand the comparisons to Santal 33. One of the only frags I've sampled that legitimately gave me a headache after only two sprays. Could always just be poor skin chemistry. Kind of a shame.

Well, well, well......bravo All Saints Leather Skies is an Autumn stunner. The mixed reviews always steered me away from the All Saints line. Leather Skies was the onlyone that captured my interest as a first try and despite the likeness to Le Labo Santal 33 (which is nice but a bit too dry and screechy on the Sandalwood accord for my taste) I decided to give it a chance. I love to wear leather and/or Tobacco forward scents in Autumn so was on the look out for a new one and here I am. No alcoholic blast just straight into soft Leather, dry spicy Sandalwood and sweet Olibanum although this comes across as more of a Vanilla warmth and sweetness. Altogether a cocoon of uplifting Autumn vibes ready to don a heavier coat or leather jacket and stride out for a brisk walk in the falling leaves and cool breeze. Yes it does have more than a passing resemblance to Santal 33 but smoother, sweeter, much more mass appealing. I would call this a perfectly unisex fragrance as the characteristics of the note combination lends equally to both feminine and masculine appeal - the chemistry of the wearer's skin determining which way it leans. I managed to grab a bottle of this here in the UK for a great price (£35.95 for 100ml) which is great value. I shall enjoy wearing this very much.......almost feel sufficiently emboldened to try one of the other All Saints fragrances now too. 😉
