Dark Leather Eau de Parfum

Did not expect to like this as i usually don’t enjoy leather heavy fragrances, but was pleasantly surprised how fresh the opening was with that lavender, the fragrance does have a barbershop feel to it, which i think really gives it that manly aura to it, and because the conifer accord which i also pick up i feel this is suitable year round

Beautiful this is just beautiful! There is a classy soapy aspect to it, it’s dark and bright at the same time, it’s leathery but somewhat fresh and soapy, with dark nuances. 10/10 real man type of stuff

Smells like a tailors in a damp dungeon. The dry down gives me chills. Gorgeous. 10/10.

Surprisingly, this smells exactly as the notes are listed, though the lavender and especially the geranium aren't particularly overbearing. Something like this at the bare minimum is what I expected from the likes of Tom Ford's OL/TL. The leather is actually present here, and so if you're looking for a clean leather, look no further than this. I don't get the animalic/BBQ aspects here, but just a basic, fresh, new leather. I'm being tugged towards getting a FB, but maybe I'm just not feeling it right now. Who knows, I might come back around this and reconsider if need be. Overall, a captivating fragrance with above-average performance.

The lavender and elemi are a really nice prominent combo, though I don’t think I’m generally a fan of elemi. The prominent lavender is worth it though. This is a really nice masculine scent. The leather is more of a sort of contextual scent, I don’t notice it so much. Always impressed with Molton Brown stuff, very good performance and really well put together.
