Leather Effecto

I blind bought this perfume due to its repeatedly mentioned similarity with Side Effect, which I like, but can't love because it performs quite weakly on myself. Is it similar? Yes, probably like 95%. The 5% come from a slight suede note (not really leather, but suede), which I also like. There is nothing animalic per se about this scent, so if you are expecting a rough fragrance, this is definitely not it. Many might say this is a nighttime fragrance, but I am wearing it during the day and it fits really well, especially at low temperatures (-5 to 0 degrees currently in my country), while wearing fluffy sweaters. With that being said, I find it quite versatile for the colder days, regardless of the occasion/circumstances. 10/10? Not sure, maybe 9/10 at best, because I expected it to create a larger scent bubble, which it definitely doesn't: it lasts a whole day, but its trail and bubble are medium. Worth the price? If you use it only on colder days, a bottle might last for some time, so I think Leather Effecto is more worthy than Side Effect, whose price per mililiter is slightly higher, if you pay the full retail price.

Reproducing the smell of leather with olfactory notes. An objective perfectly achieved by Leather Effecto, a fragrance that literally left me speechless. I define it as a magical combination of aromas such as saffron, very delicate, rum, sandalwood and vanilla which with their softness recreate an enveloping but rough smell at the same time, giving life to elegantly leathery scents. A kind of Perfume that I love, expression of a duplicity that fascinates me: sweetness and strength, charm and awe. Really, really beautiful. It goes directly on my wishlist. Ideal for the cooler seasons. “Flower Thrower” by Banksy, an artist who always manages to emotionate me with his thoughtful contrasts.

They've done it! They took Side Effect and made it more complex and refined, no synthetic opening and a beautiful evolution to a leathery fragrance with the side effect sweetness backing it up. Please guys, try it! You will be amazed :)

I've never smelled Side Effect but this definitely smells like a more refined and expensive version of Aftermath which is a clone of Side Effect. It's good, I definitely get more vanilla and amber than I do anything else. The spices are way in the background for me and for some reason I don't really get a lot of booziness from the rum. I wish the perfumer had more fragrances available in America or at the very least North America because everything I've smelled that he's done was pretty good. Maybe time will tell.

Opens rum-foward with a nutmeg bias, but then transitions to an unmistakable vanilla-bias jasmine. Soon after the labdanum makes itself known, it combines with the woody, faint vanilla, amber, and musky notes to present itself as an abstractly drawn, elegant leather (finally), as opposed to a raw leather that has been doused in clean notes to smell nice. If this profile interests you, go wild, but personally, this doesn't interest me.
