Ombré Leather Parfum

When I first bought Ombre leather, I had purchased a travel sprayer of the EDP and I got another complimentary sample of the Parfum. Upon comparing the two fragrances, I found that the EDP was more in line with my preferences and subsequently purchased a full bottle. I perceived a significant overlap between the fragrances, and I felt it was too Redundant to own both of them. However, since then, the Parfum has remained on my mind. Of course, here we are, and I have a full bottle of both the Parfum and the EDP, so I thought I’ll write a review on the Parfum as well. As mentioned in my review of the EDP, on the first spray, the Parfum comes off tidally airier than the EDP, which is surprising, given that the Parfum flankers typically leave a darker and denser impression. However, it’s reverse in the case of Ombré leather. The presence of violet leaf and cedar gives an ozonic quality to the OLP, contrasting with the EDP’s captivating cardamom note. Upon drying, the signature leather of OLP emerges. Despite containing the note of jasmine, OLP feels significantly less floral when compared to the EDP. Notably, it maintains its ozonic essence over time, bestowing a lightness upon the leather in the fragrance that is absent in the EDP. This is how the fragrance carries on in the base, perhaps becoming a touch more woodier, and I don’t get any tobacco from this whatsoever. Regarding performance, the projection is significantly more reined in compared to the EDP, although it is not weak in any way. It has a decent amount of silage and has a prominent longevity of approximately 7-8 hours on the skin. However, as a skin scent, it extends beyond 12 hours, persisting until I take a shower, with occasional wafts emanating throughout the duration of the fragrance. My experience is with batch number A65 (2025 batch). In my opinion, the EDP was a 10/10, while this fragrance is more like an 8.5. I strongly prefer the EDP due to its unapologetic nature. However, I acknowledge that the Parfum is more suitable for everyday wear due to its lighter and more airy composition. Notably, the leather in this fragrance feels smoother than the EDP, despite the EDP itself being smoother than Tuscan Leather, which serves as the inspiration for this DNA. I think it would be better suited if this was the original release and the EDP would’ve been released as a Parfum version instead.

Ombré Leather Parfum is still a dark leather fragrance, but now with a good amount of florals, unlike Ombré Leather EDP, which only Jasmine. Ombré Leather Parfum is more everyday wearable fragrance for the man who's got a little tough and dark side to him. The Ombré Leather EDP always gave me "street thugs" vibes. Ombré Leather Parfum, has more of a "confident man in control, wearing a leather jacket" vibe for me. Its lighter scent with violet leaf and more woody notes makes it less "threatening" so to speak. Some YouTubers say it's a Suite and tie version of the EDP. But let's be real. If you're wearing a full suit and tie, you don't want to smell like leather. That's silly. Both the EDP and the Parfum are casual to semi-casual. I purchased my bottle to wear when I ride my motorcycle, wearing all my leather motorcycle gear. I used to wear Ombré Leather EDP, but it's a bit much, and i'm not riding like the devil's chasing me anymore. In the opening, i get leather, violet leaf, and Jasmine. I would Not go as far as calling it aquatic, as stated in the accord list. But I have heard reviews (which i never trust) say it's aquatic or watery. I mostly just get leather and florals. In the mid, i unfortunately, can get a faint "smoking cigarette" scent. Not an attractive note in anyway. But it does give a slight "bad boy" vibe. It's only present for a short 20 minute period somewhere between 1-2 hours in. Some woods are also more detectable, and tobacco makes itself just a little too apparent for my taste. Dry-down is mostly woods and leather. And it's Good. It will give anyone within a forearms length a whiff, even 4-6 hours in. In the very late dry-down (12+ hours and on), it's just Spectacular! Mostly violet leaf, with leather and jasmine underneath it. Lasts for 24+ hours as a skin scent. Where: casual to semi-casual. Despite what YouTubers say about it being a suite and tie fragrance, I say it's absolutely not. When: all year, really. Except for the warmest days. Day and night time. Even going out, but Not first dates. Who: This leans very masculine on me. I'd say age 30's and up will probably be right. Personal score: 9.5/10. I bought a bottle to wear when I ride my motorcycles during spring, summer, and fall. And for that, it is perfection.

As I get older, I find myself more and more appreciative of warm leathery scents, and honestly Ombre Leather, parfum edition, epitomises all I love about this note. The opening is so reminiscent of snuggling into a newly minted leather car seat. It is enveloping sun-warmed leather; smooth and photorealistic, with a creamy floral undertone that becomes more pronounced the longer the scent develops on my skin. At that point, the strong leather accord fades, and the twinkling notes of jasmine with watery violet leaf really come into focus, marrying beautifully with an earthy orris heart pulsing and constant like a heartbeat in the depths. There’s little sillage to this scent but it lingers on my skin for a very long time. The reviewer who compared it to Ahmed Al Magrib’s Leather is spot on; the two scents are incredibly similar. However, Leather opens with strong vegetal notes that shimmer on the top, only later becoming Ombre Leather’s cute younger sibling for a while. Later still, it thins out and sits lighter on the skin in drydown. And crucially, it misses altogether the warm creaminess of Ombre Leather, which is what really drew me to this scent in the first place. Again it’s only the Parfum that gives this a lovely rounded quality to the fragrance that is missing from the EDP, which I also have. With such an extensive perfume collection already, I’ll probably end up gifting the EDP version to my husband or a friend. But the parfum? No. That’s a keeper.

In short, I'm obsessed. I'm headache-prone but I love a leather scent, which can be a difficult combo at times. This elicits no headache which is wonderful (I haven't tried the EDP as I've heard it can sometimes elicit headaches). The scent bubble is beautiful: soft, slightly powdery and floral, but still very unisex. A cloud of orris, violet leaf, jasmine, and some nondescript pleasant woody notes. Somehow tenacious without being super strong. The leathery notes stick closer to the skin, which is great to be able to go in for huffs of it, without forcing this more controversial component of the scent on those nearby. The sillage is that fantastic balance of strong and likely to be caught in whiffs here and there by those sitting nearby, but without filling a room and suffocating others. It leans more mature, but that shouldn't stop anyone in their twenties wearing it if you like the scent. It is probably too sensual for a work environment, but perfect for dates, parties, and time with partners. Not sure how it goes in summer heat, but the depth and richness of it do feel more autumn/winter/nighttime in vibe. While it's not cheap, the discounter price is very reasonable for the quality, and you only really need 1–2 sprays.

Ombre Leather Parfum is a leathery, floral and woody fragrance. It has a slightly fresh opening, a little citric and ozonic, although the bitumen leather accord is immediately perceived, like shoe cream. As the minutes pass, the leather accord it moderates and increases a floral presence that makes this version of Ombre Leather more aromatic compared to the Eau de Parfum. Once reaching the drying phase, a relatively fresh leathery aroma is left, slightly spiced by tobacco. This fragrance could be used in both casual and formal situations, during spring, autumn and winter, in daytime and nighttime activities, it has poise and elegance. In terms of longevity, with me it has lasted about 8 or 9 hours, although its sillage has only been noticeable for the first hour, then it gradually goes down until it stays close to the skin, although the Eau de Parfum version has not been a monster either projection. Compared to Ombre Leather EDP, it is a slightly easier fragrance to wear contrary to what I thought, since it contains some floral and aromatic accords and is less spicy without losing the essence of leather and woods. Personally I liked it a little more.
