Oud Saphir

I think this is my new signature scent! Everyone's saying sample this on your own skin, and I COMPLETELY agree! It can play out very differently based on skin chemistry and surrounding scents. But me personally, I sampled this on my skin and committed to TWO full bottles. Two of the big giant 6.8oz bottles, actually. For years, my absolute favorite fragrance has been Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, and it still may be... however Atelier Oud Saphir has taken that leather note that I love so much, and turned it into a scent that I can wear on ANY occasion! It's fresh, but not sporty. It's leathery, but not too cloying for summer use, and yet it still has that loud, animalic, and somewhat vulgar leather, with an extremely confident and outgoing personality overall, that I feel matches my own. The oud is, well... nonexistent to my nose. The bergamot here is nothing like the bergamot in Montale Aoud Leather. Instead, it smells like fruity candy, and not in a bad way... if I had to describe it based on the notes, I'd say it's the combination of bergamot, birch, and vanilla, which create this candy-like accord. Also, given the fruity overtones, I disagree with the current ranking of bergamot being the least noticeable note. I don't find this at all too sweet as some have complained, and to me it's not too feminine or too masculine, but I do think it leans more on the masculine side. Projection and longevity are better than anything else I've tried from Atelier, however Atelier scents are often rather weak and just barely hit the mark of acceptable for me, so I still wish it were stronger... I like to freshen this one up after the 3-4 hour mark, and I wish it were a little stronger/deeper at times. Instead, I just have to add another spray or two. I love Montale Aoud Leather as well, but sometimes in spite of its fresh bergamot note and strong projection, it still misses the mark in terms of ticking all the boxes. For what it's worth, I've received more compliments from Montale Aoud Leather than I have from Oud Saphir and Tuscan Leather combined, however Oud Saphir is the one that speaks to my soul. You know those memes "One day, you'll be driving in your Ferrari, and it will all be worth it, and it'll be okay." This is the fragrance I'd be wearing in that scenario, without considering anything else. Love it.

After being underwhelmed at some of the offerings at Atelier, I've found one that is quite good. I "like" their Clementine, love the Orange Sanguine, was depressed with the Rose and the Incens, and was beginning to think that maybe they should stick with citrus, only citrus. But this is different and a pleasant surprise! The "cologne" style is not really evident here, however. The only aspect of this that is like Cologne is that while it's an "oudh" aspect/note which typically is heavy, even oily--this is sheer--with incredible longevity and silage. It never feels "heavy." Oud Saphir starts off with a distinctly "berry" note to me--I'd say Rasberry, though not listed (it could be the pepper at play with the florals, but I doubt it). It goes right into Birch and leather along with the synth-oudh. The berry plays along as counterpoint and creates a lighter, more amicable "oudh" than the heavier resinous quality (that I so much love btw). I'm not a berry fan at all--loathe berry frags, but here, I like it. This lasts an easy day, doesn't evolve very much on me, is very linear but bounces between berry-leather. I hear the reviewers below say that it smells like smoke/tobacco/ashtrays and dirty hotel rooms. Yes, that is the birch/leather and "oudh" quality evident in many perfumes of this genre,or even more skillfully done in Serge Lutens Une Voix Noire (the ashtray there). Just like skanky animalics that go into panty territory, this can conjure up images of whiskey and lastnight's lipstick circling the rim of the glass. And some of us really like that. However, this is so berry at times, almost a whiff of sweetness that it cuts through much of that "old leather purse" smell, and I find it quite interesting. I don't think I'm up for 200 ml since my drawers overfloweth with far too much right now, but if Atelier offered it in 30 ml I might. This is not a typical Atelier scent. Where I spritz and spray Clementine on everything dozens of times, with a loose hand and no concern to others (it's so light and dissipates true to its cologne heart)--this one IS a powerhouse: sheer but strong, tenacious, and true. Use with a lighter touch.

“Her decision was irreversible. She would not continue living a life by others’ rules. To see his deep sapphire blue eyes and feel the calm of his voice again were the only things that mattered now. With him she finally felt ready to write her own history.” It may not come as a complete surprise that Atelier Cologne would eventually get around to making an oud scent- who hasn't- but if you love this brand as much as I do, you surely had your questions. How would Atelier's trademark mastery of the fresh, sheer, cleanly traditional eau de cologne style incorporate an ingredient known for its deep, dark, animalic tones? Well, now we know: Oud Saphir is a modern delight, a smooth, sophisticated stunner that combines bright, fresh cologne elements with a wonderfully soft, rich suede leather-and-oud accord that feels both elegant and also accessibly wearable. Equally lovely on ladies and gents alike, Oud Saphir is the perfect antidote to the too-heavy, too-dark agarwood scents, a casual yet complex fragrance with distinction and style. imagine a lighter Tuscan leather with a prominent note of raspberry. Olfactives notes: Top notes: Bergamot from Calabria, ambrette from India, pink pepper from China. Heart notes: Violet leaves from Grasse, jasmine from Egypt, suede leather. Base notes: Dark oud accord, birch wood from China, vanilla from Madagascar Projection: 8/10 Longevity: 8/10 Uniqueness: 8/10 Collaboration between Creative Directors Sylvie Ganter, Christophe Cervasel and Perfumer Jerome Epinette, the fragrance is accompanied by Atelier Cologne's ever-charming and enticing vignette, a miniature character profile that gives one the slightest glimpse into the imagined story behind the fragrance.

Atelier Oud Saphir is another Atelier with a slightly misleading name. There is a synthetic Oud note in it but what this is mainly is a woody suede frag, drawing inspiration from Tuscan Leather and it's many brethren but doing enough of it's own thing at the same time that renders it worthy of perusal. Top notes what I get mainly is a slightly bitter Bergamot and pepper. There are no other fruit notes listed and maybe its the combination of Bergamot, vanilla and ambrette but there is a fruity vibe running through the middle of this frag from beginning to end. Its no raspberry like TL but fruity it is. The rest of the frag in the heart and base is mainly a dry suede mixing with the synthetic oud and birch. To sum up, this is a very nice woody suede with hints of sweetness. Projection and longevity are both good. It gives a solid scent bubble around you for the first 3 hours atleast and longevity is around the 7-8 hour mark with 3-4 sprays. Cooler weather frag mostly like Tuscan but this is smoother than Tuscan so can work in air conditioned environments for summer nights. Just dont overspray. If you are looking for a slightly more softer, smoother frag in the same mould as Tuscan Leather with good quality ingredients, Oud Saphir is a great choice. It is a very versatile frag that I enjoy wearing when I want something leathery with a bit of oomph but is not rough around the edges. If Tuscan Leather is a hard bitten biker in tough leathers, Oud Saphir is a movie star in a Suede jacket. Some days you want to be one, some days the other! haha

Oud Saphir is another misnomer by Atelier Cologne---I know their intent is to name fragrances based on subtle interpretations of the notes, but it's a little misleading to believe that oud is one of the more prominent notes. Rather, this is a leather(or more specifically, suede)-dominant fragrance that involves pepper and vanilla mainly to my nose, and that respect, I'd more or less describe it as a "spicy/sweet leather" type of fragrance, which is very desirable, and much easier to wear that perhapas the oud-dominant fragrance I otherwise might've though it to be. Like Gold Leather, the only other cologne in Atelier's Collection Metal that I've tried so far, Oud Saphir is a heavy hitter, a solid performing fragrance that, while priced above most lighter Atelier Colognes, is still cheaper than, say, alternative similar niche leather options. It is similar to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather---certainly not as deep, but the comparison can be made between almost any refined sweet suede fragrance and TL. Retailing at $250 for 100ml but available at Max Forti's site for $175, it's arguably worth the extra money for the performance and a strong winter fragrance (albeit not as strong as TL) in lieu of some of the lighter, fresher Atelier Colognes that don't perform as well. Certainly worthy of a try if you like TL or sweet leather fragrances in general, with perhaps just a hint of oud. 8 out of 10

Love it!!!! Firstly, this has replaced Guerlain Oud Essentiel as my favourite Oud, for reference I like TF Tuscan LEather but find it unexceptional and I find Gucci Guilty Absolute to be cheap and nasty (sorry). Secondly, suede and leather maybe obvious but claims the oud isn’t strong is ridiculous (sorry). What makes this stand out other than the strength (Oud Essentiel is still the strongest perfume I have ever tried) is for once the gorgeous woods are not blatantly assisted with rose or carnation which seems to be a relative go to. Here, the bergamot is complimentary purely just helping give that slight freshness and brightness on top. Underneath this you have a slightly more obvious jasmin but not too much, again just enough to give freshness - much more obvious if you put nose to skin. The wood and leather base is just rounded off just enough by the vanilla to turn it into a more complex scent, somewhat creamy, helping it cross over into a ladies scent as well. Ironically, despite Ateliers Colognes ethos, they have managed to somehow create an amazing scent that fits their mould. If you like scents in this genre I am confident you would be very impressed. I genuinely believe this deserves to be one of the benchmarks for its class.

Wow! I absolutely loved this fragrance. Some could be mislead by the Oud in the title and although not being all about oud it's definitely in here. This is not least due to the fact that Oud Saphir reminded me of Bella Bellissima White Leather, a kind of sweet vanilla/leather with raspberry and exotic guava notes. This is not so in your face and doesn't have an abundance of vanilla or anything else for that matter. Oud Saphir is incredibly luxurious but somehow calming and balanced and no where near the gaseous, coke driven, bender that Tuscan Leather is. In fact the only similarity I can get is a raspberry note and leather but they are about as different as something containing those two notes can be. To call this a TL clone would be doing it a disservice because I have smelled many clones or similar TL fragrances recently and the association immediately springs to mind. I guess I can smell in the birch in here too adding to the leather feel and also a slightly milky sandal/vanilla thing not dissimilar to santal carmin. Basically this scent is amazing, smelling like a few really decent fragrances I enjoy. good performance too...so top marks again to Atelier Cologne.

I've seen a lot of reviews referencing a candy-like accord in the opening, and I'm happy to see that I'm not the only one who thought so. I'm not sure if Jolly Ranchers (small, hard candies) are exclusive to the US, but this smells exactly like the blue raspberry variety. And I mean exactly. On me, it tends to be very sweet, which is fine, as I tend to avoid strong oud fragrances in favor of milder blends. This fragrance could be so many things - I can't disagree with any of the other reviews, as reading each of them brings a new perspective to how I experience this fragrance. Some say masculine, some say too sweet, some think it smells like armpit. True on all accounts - it is masculine, but it also smells like candy. And somehow, it blends in a skanky oud, but it never overpowers the smooth leather. It really is so interesting; I think even skeptics should purchase a sample, as it brings a levity to a traditionally somber note combination like oud and leather. Personally, I will be purchasing a bottle, even if it smells like childhood sweets. It makes me happy :)

Looove it. Imagine the leather of Tuscan leather but a lot weaker, add juiciness, fruitiness, sweetness and that in an fresh-aquatic way with oud in the background. Much easier to wear than Tuscan Leather and it's kind of mouth watering to me. It reminds me of the leather of tuscan leather mixed with some sort of a juicy fruit like melon or something similiar. The smokiness makes this very masculin. The Oud is really weak, but if you concentrate you can smell it. Definitve not overpowering oud. Very well blended and it gets even smoother than it alreay is after 5 minutes. Will smell best during fall. I own Tuscan leather and made a side by side comparison. The characteristic leather note of Tuscan Leather is the only similiar thing between these 2, but it'll still remind you of it. An outsanding Atelier Cologne fragrance, definitely one of the best, if not the best. I can't get enough of it. I want to drown in it. It's been a while since I discovered a fragrance like that made me say this.

Words cannot adequately describe how much I adore OS. I initially ordered a sample while deployed as I needed a change from the only perfume I packed. When I initially applied OS both my best friend (male) and I thought it came across very berry like, which is not my favorite. I was afraid I was going to be disappointed but I could not have been so wrong. The dry down was quick and what followed is the smoothest, most sophisticated, unusual scent I have ever encountered. The oud is noticeable but not in a I-sat-by-a-campfire-all-night sort of way. This is more like a soft woods and leather. It is so feminine in the most masculine way. This is the scent I recommend to everyone wanting to actually invest in scents and break away from the bath and body works state of mind. My best friend was just as enamored as I. I purchased four new fragrances while deployed and this is the only one for which I receive compliments. It is my new signature scent.

Oh my, this is freaking awesome! It is way too masculine for a woman, IMO, but I would go crazy if I smelled this on a man! Too bad my husband doesn't share my love of fragrances. Instant note of oud and soft leather with a slightly sweet, floral note. I know this seems crazy to some, but I feel like I smell cigarette??? I mean like you are going out on a date with someone who wears a light musk, he is wearing a leather jacket and when you snuggle in close you can pick up a little smoke. You wonder does he smoke or maybe someone around him does, or maybe he goes to one of those swanky humidor lounges. Of course it could be the tar note that is giving off that smell to my nose. Heck,idk what it is but I will say it is SEXY. Not too strong, a perfect silage . I give it a 10!

I agree with a previous reviewer that it opens in an intoxicating way, almost to the point of smelling boozy. After about half a minute, the drunk-uncle-air disperse into a wonderful symphony of violet leaves. This stage reminds me a little bit of Santal 33 for some reason, sans pickle juice. Like most reviewers I don't get much of the oud, but neither do I get much of the suede leather that others speak of. But where I got a burst of violet leaves - my GF smelled nothing but suede. Different skin chemistry perhaps. As it dries down it develops a clear and highly realistic scent of charred birch. Almost like having stood downwind of a traditional Scandinavian bonfire. I'm gonna enjoy this, that's for sure.

I recently had a chance to try this and gave myself a squirt on the wrist. It reminded me of something instantly but I couldn't put my finger on it....mouthwatering, smokey sweet, I kept dipping my nose to my wrist...when I got home I looked it up and BINGO...Tom Fords Tuscan Leather...though I liked this a lot better. On a side note, I've NEVER had a perfume last as long on my skin! I'm not kidding when I say I could smell it on my wrist for two days after. Scent 8/10 Projection ...I really couldn't test this with just one squirt to the wrist Fortitude 20/10....ok, seriously, this stuff is like super glue...bonds instantly and holds tightly for a loooooong time.

Ah, this is so nice!! This is a love from me!! Pepper and leather are the prominent top notes. The leather is the same note as Santal Carmin. I only detect oud as the mid-note. Then, strangely, the drydown on Oud Saphir takes a sharp left. It becomes soapy berries and sugar. Oddly enough, the drydown reminds me of a cheapie in my collection: Midnight Fantasy by Britney Spears. As for longevity, the top and mid notes are gone within two hours, but the berries stay as a skin scent for 8-10 hours. This is an easy "YES!" from me. I would absolutely buy it, but because I just picked up Santal Carmin, I think I'll wait a while before adding this to my collection.

A beautiful leather based fragrance. I love how the suede leather combines with this beautiful berry accord. I am picking up black berries, rasp berries and perhaps a bit of black currant. The scent comes off smelling like a piece of leather smothered with jam and a hint of vanilla. Stunning fragrance that I think would suit both men and women. When I smell this scent, I picture a women in a black leather jacket walking through New York City on a cold winters night. I would highly recommend any one interested to test this one out because it is very leather centric, with that being said, it is softened up with these fruiter notes that I mentioned.

If you love Tuscan Leather, you'll love this one as well. Oud Saphir starts off just as strong with the suede and I do sense raspberry even though it's not in the note breakdown. It is more tame and fruitier than it's Tom Ford counterpart, therefore making it more wearable or rather...versatile. Indeed, I can see this being worn both dressed up or down, doesn't matter. I do find it very masculine though. Longevity is good, about two hours with strong projection, then dying off in about additional two hours. If you want a subdued version of Tuscan Leather, get this. Otherwise, I suggest La Yuqawam by Rasasi. That one is best price for value.

I love this oud. Smoky, Suede- Well blended juice. This is nectarous luxury that hovers around you. Bad silage but that's okay because the clouds around you will smell great. I get the smoky woods and soft leather and ouds. @Jaja26 (below)- If it does smell like a hotel room, its definitely a 5-star, with someone smoking Insignia brand cigarettes, and the naughty French maid tried to cover it up with some high end Tahitian Vanilla & Birch. The oud is a reminder that you are allowed to be a little naughty in your hotel room. The fresh opening is gone as soon as your checked in, because let's face it, you won't be fresh when you check out.

This is a unisex perfume that smells VERY different depending on your skin chemistry. On my boyfriend, this develops quite sweet with the bergamot taking centre stage and the oud and leather a complementary background. On me, the oud and leather much more prominent more like a duet and the bergamot flitting in now and then. On another guy friend of mine, it smells like rotting woodchips, all the bergamot is missing and completely overpowered by a slap-in-the-face oud and some leather. Make sure you sample this one on your skin first before committing to a whole bottle.

Seriously gorgeous scent! I find that Atelier Cologne fumes take a few wearings till they suddenly bloom for me, I think their formulas are so unique my nose/brain doesn't recognize all their subtleties until after a few sniffs. Tried this one a few times, liked it but passed it to dh thinking it was a bit more masculine, then today, a cool wet day I decided to select something from his stash and gave this one another try. It has been knocking me out with wafts of glorious oud/suede ever since. It is now back on my side of the fragrance closet :)

I suppose what I'm describing would be the "suede" note combined with oud (I'm new to studying fragrances), but on me, Oud Saphir smells straight up like incense and champagne. I basically feel like I smell like money. It's wonderful! Sillage and longevity are both moderate (Atelier, as much as I love the brand, isn't known for longevity), but it is truly a unique scent. One of my favorites. Edit: upon revisiting this lovely scent, I believe it's the bergamot & suede combination that is creating the mysterious champagne accord on my skin.

In all seriousness... If your considering getting Tom Ford's Tuscan leather.... Don't bother. This Smells nearly identical. And you can get 100ml for the same price as 50ml of TL. Additionally... I'd consider Oud Saphir to be a bit more heavy hitting. But anyways Thays my opinion. I've got both bottles to compaire. Won't be buying TL anymore after years of buying this stuff steady

My god is this one of the most beautiful oud fragrances i have ever smelled! So elegant and soft. But that hint of oud is the perfect touch to compliment the sensual essence of suede. This is what you get if you mix TF white suede with oud and spiced citrus. It sounds strange. But is brilliantly concocted. Average lasting power. 6hrs Subtle sillage. But dam good!

It is unique, in your face kind of perfume , I’m confused if I like it or Not for women , But for men ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ Go for it , the saffran and oud and leather ❤️It reminds me of Tucsan leather by Tom Ford , I recommend it in cold or freezing weather it gonna play the vodka role ❤️ Scent 9 Protection 10 or even 11 Longevity 10

One of the hits for me in the 2018 Advent calendar. This scent had and oddly intoxicating synthetic feeling aroma at first, that dries into a lovely symphony of suede leather and peppery resins. I adore this and is an absolute must on my fragrance wishlist, this is gonna be a real score if I happen to get it.

On my skin the opening is a bit like suede shoes.. :/ but on clothes its divine - I get mostly cold mellow coffee, then leather, suede, Cuban cigars and a hint of whisky... its like I'm a bloke but I just love those notes. What is it about leather that is so darn sexy? ...Oud Saphir, I think I love you.. <3

I really love this scent. Such high quality juice that lasts for days!! Projection is through the roof but in a good way. I've received so many compliments on this one. I get a really smooth oud mixed with leather/ maybe more of a suede and some well balanced woods... Simply amazing. Definitely fbw.

A confident, sophisticated, cheeky, provocative, mysterious creature. An elegant Flirt with a capital F and deceptively good manners. A loud and clear "I know how to behave but choose not to". My soul in a bottle. (The fresh, bubbly twin of Tom Ford Tuscan Leather's.)

One of my favorites. This is very soft and light blend. The suede has a sweetness to it that reminds me of one of those rainbow colored snow cones you get out of the freezer at a gas station, which is a good memory for me. Nothing offensive in it to me. 10 out of 10.

This is woody and soft, but the bergamot and jasmine are keeping it fresh and wearable in humidity...but I really think this would be great any time of year. I detect next to no oud, light subtlety seems key in this one, and I'm loving it!

This stuff is magic and that's all you really need to know. Forget about what people say this doesn't smell like. Forget that people say this is a "clone" of this and that. This stuff smells amazing and lasts long. Get it on you!

The best leather fragrances (in my personal opinion) on the market! Yes, Tom Ford also makes good ones, but Oud Saphir is so unique and great leather smelling fragrance that you won't find anywhere period. 10 out of 10 for me.

Blonde suede, it's a softer more aromatic version of Tuscan leather or Colonia Leather, if you own either it would be my opinion that this purchase would be redundant, unless of course you collect.

از بهترین عطرهای آتلیه که بسیار بوش شبیه عطر کاملیا از همین برند و هردوشون شبیه گودولفینه مارلی و توسکان لدر می مونن. بوش هنوزم تکه و بسیار جذاب. البته به نظر من بوی کاملیا منحصر بفرد تر است.

To me this smells very much like Black saffron (BS). It is more similar to BS than tuscan leather. However, it is much more smoky.

soft, smokey, light oud with a little vanilla, dry not sweet and very beautiful; one of the longest lasting of this house

This is definitely good quality scent. I feel rosemery juniper,coliander, musk and suede.

Se ven muy interesantes las notas

I was pleasantly surprised by this fragrance - anything with oud in the title is touch and go for me. People get really stressed out about their ouds, want to be establish that "their" oud is the best, and need everyone else to enjoy it, no matter how stinky and unpleasant to the smeller. HOWEVER - Oud Saphir (to me) is neither stinky or unpleasant. If that means it doesn't have "real" oud in it then so be it - I'm okay with that. The oud and wood are quite lovely, and the combination of bergamot and jasmine really brightens the whole thing up and gives me that "Saphir" from the title. The leather in it really does (to me) give more the impression of "suede" as listed in the notes - I have many leather fragrances and this one is not the saddles and driving gloves or Negan's jacket thing. After several hours I get a soft scent bubble of the Saphir sweetness while sitting at my computer, but sniffing my wrists only gives me the faintest wood scent. I may have gone a bit anosmic to it. Nice surprise! I might buy this at the right price point.

Sampled from the Atelier advent calendar, I skipped ahead for this one :) This feels like a lighter and smoother Ombre Leather as it sings birch tar and berry done with restraint, which I guess means it has echoes of Tuscan Leather too. I am personally happy with Gucci Guilty Absolute in this sort of realm (and prefer the brighter woody dry down) so it would be redundant I feel to buy this for me but for those liking Tuscan Leather I think you may want to consider it; If you like that but wish it was just a little less rough and in your face with the tar note and just edging a little more of the smoky wood I think you will love this. All these birch tar heavy scents make me love Gucci Guilty Absolute even more. I think it more than holds its own against these other blends in scent and longevity and it's at least half the price.

Wow! This was a surprise for sure. I've been underwhelmed by most Atelier offerings... can't think of bad ones, but they just never blow me away. Until I tried this bad boy. The suede is out-of-this world luxurious smelling... freshened up with a *hint* of jasmine, and rounded out with a faint sweetness that I don't detect as vanilla per se. The birch is smokey but not overwhelmingly so, and it never gets in the way of the beautiful suede. The smokey/woodiness of the birch is at odds with the more refined/luxurious suede and supporting cast of jasmine/sweetness (vanilla)/pink pepper. And then the oud. It is there, dialed way down, just enough to know it is there without it screaming over the top of the other beautiful notes. And the best part... the oud just makes the whole experience feel skanky in the best possible way.

Fruity, candy cocaine. Devious gummies with a hint (just a hint! Don't worry about it!) of narcotics. I got a sample of Oud Saphir hoping to smell "new car," but I can't get past the cocaine. So it's not at all what I expected, but I don't hate it! Definitely something endearingly naughty about it, like teenagers partying in an oddly innocent way. Like they're not ~corrupted~, they're just kids, doing the dumb shit kids do. It's a phase and they'll get over it. I haven't smelled Tuscan Leather yet, but if this is the tame version, and no one else smells the coke in this, Tom Ford's rendition must be filthy

Oud Saphir has recently been moved into the new Collection Rare, with Gold Leather, Santal Carmin, and this year newly launched Gaiac Éternal and Rose Cuirée. The bottle has been changed into the one of Gaiac Éternal: A dark blue bottle with a golden metallic label and cap. Each has a different curve on the label, though not very evident at a first glance (esp. compared to the original labels of different colours). I have not had a side-by-side comparison, but the current version does remind me of the original. And yes, despite the name and the birth of Rose Cuirée, oud still can hardly be sensed here.

Imagine the cartoon version of snow white wearing Tuscan Leather. This is strong, candy-shop sweet, pointed, and leans feminine and synthetic. There is smoke, but it is wet and sappy. The oud accord is interesting at first whiff, but lacks the depth and multidimensional nature of many of its niche peers. Its longevity, projection, and sillage are very impressive. Were it not so condensed, artificial and domineering (in contrast to Tuscan Leather, which has a more masculine, dominant and natural personality) in its scent profile, it would be magnificent.

A very wearable leather fragrance. I get no oud. Just a bright, fruity opening with the leather consistently in the back. Perfect for an everyday leather fragrance. Personally, I really enjoy it and I think I will be using it a lot going forward. Longevity on skin isn't amazing. It does the job as an approachable leather scent. But definitely lacks in this area. I use Tom Fords Ombre Leather(they share same berry suede note) as a base and it boosts the longevity by miles. Worth checking out if you enjoy leather fragrances

I am delighted to experience a lighter oud. I smell berries, bergamot, a touch a mild sweetness that ties the notes together. Also, I perceive wood that has been submerged in water for some time. For me the sandalwood smells like wet wood, right before it starts to rot. Like the wooden log that has been in the pond too long. I love this fragrance. I love the subdued mellow wood. It lasts less than an hour on my skin. I need to reapply constantly. Beautifully done composition.

My first thoughts after trying this was "This smells just like Tom Ford Tuscan Leather". Then I wore them side by side and realized they are very different. Definitely more suede than leather here. And no raspberry. The lime and vanilla take a little of the sharpness out of the suede. On my skin the oud is barely noticeable. Interesting and well made, but not enough to be full bottle worthy for me.

Oud Saphir is a rich, noticeable experience- like a sapphire. The leather & oud are present throughout the wear, but so is the bergamot. That's where Atelier Cologne distinguishes themselves! The way they get the brightness of the citrus to last and engage the leather and oud is masterful. It's a good office fragrance on a cold winter day.

Moody woods and spicy leather. I like it. The bergamot and pepper opens bright, then the suede turns up the volume. A hit of wintergreen fades into forest within an hour. This might be marketed as unisex, but I find it very masculine, with smoke and dry musk between the trees.

@GustaveTheNose Definitely and you can add Argos "Bacio Immortale" to the list. They're all nice tho but for the price/perf ratio La Yuqawam is prob the best option.

Oud leather cologne. Synthetic but better than the others I have sampled from this line.
