The Race 1.0 for Him

In my opinion, a very underrated fragrance that, after just a few minutes, leans strongly in the direction of Tom Ford Ombre Leather - the EDP-version. It does come across as more synthetic than Ombre Leather, but it still has that same animalic leather note, which comes through very strong. Unlike Ombre Leather, this fragrance feels colder and more “hardened.” For a drugstore scent, it’s an interesting alternative as a dupe for Ombre Leather. If someone is looking for an affordable dupe of Ombre Leather with a simple, rather cold leather note—or just something to use for layering—this one is a cheap option. I asked two women what they thought of the fragrance, and neither of them liked it—one of them even said it smelled a bit like gasoline. In a layering combo with a cherry or plum fragrance, or maybe even a vanilla scent, it could definitely be an interesting option. The sillage was quite strong and the longevity was very long.
