Crépuscule Ardent

This stuff is at par with Tom fords quality, and finding them at discounters is a no brainer. I kindda enjoy the dry down of this more than Tuscan or ombré leather. Tom ford can get a little rugged at times especially in hotter temperatures but this stuff keeps its balance to a perfect leather/resins even at higher temperatures. Pretty much explains when you use good quality ingredients. Top shelf stuff !! edit: after 4 days of wearing i can say the opening is very much like tuscan leather but it dries down to the opening of ferarri leather essence if that makes any sense.

Wow, is this a gorgeous slept on leather! I like Ombré Leather but not enough to warrant the price tag, and besides, there is something sour in it I don’t care for. I had never heard of Thomas Kosmala but thought what the heck since it was on sale at Costco. This has a touch of suede to balance it out. It smells like a brand new suede purse in the best way possible. Lovely and soft and homey and just...fantastic. The sillage is insane! Go out with this in the evening and wake up and it’s still there. This might be one of my best blind buys in history!

This is the first I chose out of the new Thomas Kosmala boutique in Bloomingdales. It’s a gorgeous leather with jasmine, and I can really pick up the saffron. It’s lovely and smells almost green and woodsy/pine-y in the opening, but it dries down very similar to Ombre Leather, if brighter, without the moss. I love this one. The longevity is kick ass, lasts all day long, with moderate projection and sillage.

Master Piece, I love it. Best blind buy!

Ombré Leather that is a tad different. I like the floral notes in OL, but this was just a tad better to my nose as the saffron clenched it.

Really Nice Ambry Leather and Saffron Perfume .... Long Lastind also Well

Blind buy at Marshall's... not sure how I feel about it for sure. Was hoping the saffron would be more prominent, but it's not. I'm hoping it will be in cooler weather as obviously this is far too much for warm weather. I'm just eh about this. I like leather. I'm hoping my feelings will change when it gets cooler. (Update- it is not any better in cold weather)This smells like sticking your nose into a leather couch that sticks to your thighs and makes it hurt to get up. Basically Ombre Leather. Unfortunately, I dropped it and broke the nozzle tube the day after I got it, so I'll have to transfer this to an empty bottle. Please PM me if you're interested in a bottle with this juice in it :) Will be marked down ofc

This is for a "Made in England" bottle off of Fragrancenet. After smelling it, I'm sure this is a fake. I think it's probably helpful if I describe the fake batch. First whiff: Alcohol sharpness. Rubbing alcohol and vodka vapor. Cucumber. Metallic. The most acrid fragrance from a perfume bottle I have ever smelled in my whole life. A bottle of vodka, rubbing alcohol and a cucumber in a tin can would be cheaper. Dry down: The scent doesn't leave a paper I spritzed and left to the open air for 4 weeks. It seems to last forever, even after I washed my skin 8 times. Attracts insects to the spritz area within minutes. This fake bottle is not even remotely useful as a perfume. More like a repellant for humans. If you ever wanted to use it for pepper spray substitute, at least we know the bugs would continue to swarm the attacker, and anyone could pick them out of a lineup with ease. ("They smelled like this, officer.")

The first minutes after spraying is nice i can smell some raspberry with faint leather but after that is just pure headaching ambroxan.

This scent is absolutely beautiful. The first I have tried from Thomas Kosmala. I'm glad I sampled it first though, as the performance I got from the sample was terrible. Such a shame that similar to other leather fragrances i've tried, the performance is just not there. Literally within an hour this had faded to faint skin scent.. I reapplied throughout the day and used the entire 2ml sample. It was a nice experience, however I simply cannot buy this due to the performance.

Smells incredibly similar to Tuscan leather for much less.
