Vegan Leather Jacket

It was a blind buy and I LOVE IT. It was definitely what I was expecting according to the description and I'm definitely buying the liquid version after I finish it!! However, you have to REALLY like cloves to enjoy this one because it's the most predominant scent. My mom said it smells like incense and I kind of get it! You can properly smell tobacco and tonka after it wears off a bit. I remember reading a review saying it smells like an ashtray and I somewhat agree, but it's giving classy ashtray if it makes sense? it's far from the unpleasant smell you get on your fingers/clothes after smoking. The only downside is that it doesn't last long but it's so small you can carry it with you and reapply it. And you have to get really close to the skin to being able to smell it (which can either be a good thing or a bad thing depending on your preference).

Garnham999's comments on Lapsang Souchong tea are completely accurate! On me it smells just like a Russian leather jacket, with additional cloves. Labdanum, tobacco... very sexy, and seriously worth the price. Am going to have to buy the spray version!

At first, i thought this is literally just like sniffing a bag of lapsang souchong, however as it wears on notes of cloves and vinyl come out. Imagine drinking smoked tea in a brand new electric car- that is exactly what this is. For the price that it is (i paid £12 in store) its a great perfume, the silage is not there but it lasts a while and doesnt smell cheap. It would be appropriate to wear to work. And now an anecdote: I was browsing lush and spotted this, tried a small amount on my wrist, but unfortunately i couldn't smell much and then nothing at all when i wrnt back for a second sniff, i walked out of the shop empty handed. About 5 minutes later i could smell something wonderful, i looked around before i realised it was coming from my wrist, turns out i couldn’t smell much in the store because of how overwhelming the smell of the bathbombs nearby were. I practically ran back in and bought one of the perfume sticks. Moral of the story is don't write off anything from lush without wearing it on your skin, theres too much going on in that place to get a full idea of the perfume.

I bought this for my partner who loved it when they tried it in store, however they ended up giving it to me because they though it smelled like veggie sausages. I'm not going to lie, I can actually smell that they're talking about.. but I love it! It's a really hard scent to explain in words as it's very conceptual. It's certainly smoky. I feel it's something a biker would wear, and it ages a lot after a long ride. This scent really works well on me, I've been told by my partner that it's very alluring and sweet. It feels expensive, like a niche high perfume. I love it. My favourite scents have tobacco and clove so it's a pattern for me! I feel like it smells like it has notes of fennel, sage & Pepper. It has a pastely-like quality, rather than powdery, if that makes sense! It smells a bit like wood burning. I would usually layer this with something else to give it a darker tone. I would actually go as far as saying it's slightly meaty, in a bbq way. This scent is one of the most Intersting I've tried

If you've ever smelled vetiver essential oil by itself, it is very much a smoky barbecue smell, which is why I think most people smell teriyaki or savory foods like that when vetiver is in the mix. Not necessarily unpleasant, but the food associations are there, lol. Vegan Leather Jacket is an interesting one. Almost undetectable on initial application, but slowly morphs into a sharp leather and then a subtly spicy tobacco. This is the solid perfume so that process may be different from how the liquid behaves. I'm interested enough from this to want to try the liquid, I think. It seems like another masculine-leaning, inoffensive choice. Seems to sit close to the skin while still remaining present for quite a few hours so far.
