Leather

Smells like a sweeter, more leathery version of Le Labo Santal 33. It opens with cardamom with a hint of violet, and continues on with a very prominent leather, which smells like a new leather bag or a new Bentley Bentayga. Best applied on cold days or air conditioned room. Applying it on hot summer days will cloy anyone standing 6 feet near you. The Sillage is moderate-strong, Projects for 2 hour and then become a skin scent for the next 4-6 hours. Last 13 hours on my shirt

Intrigued by glowing YouTube reviews, I took a gamble and blind-bought HINT Leather for a mere AUD $10. My quest? A leather fragrance that deviated from the intense, almost nauseating leather of Tom Ford Tuscan Leather. I was hoping for something akin to a soft leather jacket scent, as one reviewer described. Upon first spray, however, I found myself on a different olfactory path entirely. Instead of leather, I encountered a fresh, unique take on Santal 33. The dominant note was a crisp, almost green guava leaf scent, blended with a pleasant herbal undertone. The leather, despite the name, was conspicuously absent. Despite the misnomer, I found myself enjoying HINT Leather for its unique character. It's a masculine-leaning, woody-sweet blend where sandalwood takes center stage, reminiscent of Santal 33's core DNA, but with a brighter, more approachable twist. For AUD $10, I'm far from disappointed. It was a surprising departure from expectations, particularly in a market saturated with Santal 33 clones. However, my search for a subtle, wearable leather fragrance continues
