Russian Leather

The truest Leather scent I've smelled - and I've smelled a LOT. Reminds me of a worn brown leather couch. Hot tip: Layer this with Demeter's "Honey" - pure hedonism... or so my man says ;)

A nice, light leather scent, i found riding corp very strong and harsh, but russian leather has a creamyness to it. I like it.

I have to admit that I have a "thing" for leather note, and this is a single leather note scent done at its best. Demeter Russian Leather is wearable on it's own, but it is also good for layering other fragrances to give them more edge & make them more interesting. If you love leather note like I do, then this is a must have!

This is a rather sweet leather scent, it's linear and seems like a good base note, but even this doesn't last very long and projection is just okay.

*Sigh* This is what I get for not reading Fragrantica reviews before buying. I took on e look at the pyramid and purchased. Big fail. I was looking for a good, rich or dark leather monotheme to use when layering. Russian leather has synthetic floral notes that are NOT represented in the pyramid above. To my nose it seems like a poorly done, plasticky peony. The leather note itself is probably okay, it's just hard to detect through the synthetic florals. My guess is that this is a suedey brown leather, and it would have been great- if not for the frickin' fake flower notes. NOTE for fragrance designers: Sometimes LESS IS MORE. I'll be giving Riding Crop a go- hopefully that will actually be a monotheme scent.

I had a leather bound sketchbook that had a wonderfully rich smell. This doesn't smell like any leather i've ever experienced before... There's this vague plasticky scent in there that really puts me off. Rather disappointed. Can't wear this.

Intensely dislike this! It reminds me of people with really bad cold - truly disgusting as a scent. The only way this can be salvaged a little is by layering with a strong tobacco smell.

Anyone else want this so that one could smell like the post-wedding night stupor at the Marquises library in the bloody chamber? Well. I do. maybe layered with voluptuous Tiger lilies, or ambegris and saltwater. Marvelous. I want to try them all. The combination mentioned bellow of this with honey also sounds dastardly decedent. Will likely blind purchase these and be back. (or a proper leather scent for that matter, since the reviews here don’t seem auspicious. But I'm still going to try it )

This smells more like a comfy, broken-in leather couch. It's much smoother than Demeter's "Leather." This has a little dust and dirt polished into it. A little body oil, but it's still a more dry, well-worn leather. I feel like this would probably be a safer bet than "Leather"...which, I actually think has now been discontinued, so moot point anyway

Can someone tell me where I can find a perfume that smells like fresh Italian leather? Like genuine leather, like the interior of a brand new bently or ferrari or a new black leather wallet?

Nice light wearable leather scent suitable for all seasons and could be worn in office. I like it a lot but the longevity is so poor on my skin.

Very nice, very wearable old leather smell. Like old book with yellow pages and leather cover.
