Swedish Leather

Swedish Leather packs quite a punch. Each spray is the olfactory equivalent of taking a boxing glove right to the schnoz. Not a new one, but rather a Victorian boxing glove that has spent decades mingling its essence with the pall of tobacco smoke and sweat in a dusty gym. Although the opening is fierce, after 10-15 minutes the rampaging beast becomes domesticated with surprisingly restrained sillage. There is a subtle sweetness from the resins in the heart that gives a specific impression of pipe tobacco. That sweetness continues to evolve into a glorious honey accord drawn back from gourmand territory by the leather notes. It can be picked up on clothes days later. Retail price is ridiculous. Wait for a deep discount.

This stuff has really impressive longevity. I spritzed myself with Swedish Leather on Christmas morning for those gorgeous leather and tobacco notes. Eight hours later I applied a healthy dose of Montale's Aoud Cuir d’Arabie for my own enjoyment. Despite the hours separating them, Swedish Leather's honey and tobacco kept popping up through the isobutyl quinoline onslaught of Aoud Cuir with impressive frequency and intensity. After another eight hours the Montale scent is effectively gone while Pana Dora's masterpiece is still projecting a tight but remarkably dense scent bubble from the morning application. I love it.

What an absolutely amazing scent. It's rich, strong, elegant, and has that Pana Dora DNA that all their fragrances have. This was a blind buy and the BEST blind buy I've had in 2024 so far. It's a classy, leathery, confident fragrance that I can't compare to anything else I've ever smelled outside of the house of Pana Dora. I'm am so happy with this one and look forward to wearing it often.

Beware! Very smoky beginning. Settles a bit after a while and then brings the beautiful backbone of the frag and a special feeling.
