Tuscan Leather Intense

100% Honest and Detailed Review for TLI Short review: BEST LEATHER SCENT OUT THERE. Long review: First of all, I want to clarify that there is no noticeable raspberry sweetness in this fragrance at all. If you’re expecting that familiar fruity note from the original Tuscan Leather, you’ll be in for a surprise. It’s not here — and honestly, that’s what sets this apart. A lot of people say, “Oh, it’s Tuscan Leather Intense, but it’s not actually intense.” I completely disagree. It is absolutely intense — not in a loud, overpowering way, but in how it amplifies the core of what Tuscan Leather is all about: leather. This version strips back the sweetness and focuses on the darker, drier, more mature elements. Opens with a brief nod to the original TL, but quickly transforms into something much more refined—earthy, green, herbaceous, and leather. It’s mature and sophisticated, a clear step up in depth and complexity. Some mention animalic notes, but I didn’t notice any. If they’re there, they’re so well-blended into the green and leathery profile that they’re barely noticeable. As it dries down, it leans into a smooth, almost Oud Wood-like vibe with a leathery richness. It’s not playful like the original, but it keeps that iconic TL signature while adding a darker, more elegant twist. Excellent performance, wearable year-round—even in the sun, thanks to the fresh green notes. Highly recommended if you're into leather-forward, well-crafted scents. Thanks for reading.

This is it!! This is one of Tom Ford’s discontinued fragrances actually worth the $$$ and time trying to get. Keeps that thyme/saffron distinguished smell from OG tuscan leather in the opening. Just heavenly, elegant and refined smell. But in TL intense it keeps it on the background you barely detect it on the opening, no animalic at all as fragrantica and users say. Best way i can describe it its like a more gourmand version of OG TL, same way you could say Nouveau monde is like a gourmand version of ombre nomade by LV, that how i can interpret it as. Starts with thyme/saffron smell in the background with a dark chocolate/truffle in the vibe of a noir de noir type chocolate/truffle smell. Chocolate/truffle smell is very noticeable in the opening you might feel at first that this is a gourmand version of TL but 30 min dries down into the same leather elegant smell. OG TL smell becomes more dominant and dark chocolate/truffle kinnda liquer smell goes to the background Is this better than OG TL? depends, short answer yes. Might be my favorite TF at the moment, i think its more lickeable than the OG, more compliment getter, hard to believe since OG its already a lot!! But way sexier too, because i think when u add up the sweatness to a fragrance with a dark composition you just perfection it. Longevity/sillage: i cant tell, im just into first impresions. Before smelling this OG TL was my favorite DNA/fragrance of all time im into leather fragrances consider that!

What an epic scent. My issue with the original TL was the overwhelmingly sweet drydown. I love TL, its a great fragrance for me, but that tart sweetness after the 5th hour made me be little doubtful sometimes. Tuscan Leather Intense on other hand is quite subdued and more round fragrance in my opinion, less spikey, less fruits. It opens with slight boozines, the original dna, minus the strong raspberry waft. This boozie, leather and woodsie movement lasts about two hours while it changed significantly into something more darker and deeper. After an hour or so it starts to shine and morph into a deep and greener smell... It gave me that feeling of going into the Amazon jungle, but where no human has ever been, into the green abyss where you're surrounded by torf like soil, dark purple flowers and woods that may be dangerous to touch. The leather note is prominent all the time, wood accords are dense and that green, herbal presence makes this fragrance a masterpiece. I understand it may hard to comprehend on a first sniff, I believe you need to sample it on skin and go with it for the 8h it keeps changing and morphing, it's a journey not a destination. At the end of my journey, at around 7-8h mark this fragrance do not linger like TL, overly empowered by one or two accords like the raspberry note.. It just dries and dies together as a symphony.

Have been eyeballing this for quite a while. Have thought about getting the original Tuscan Leather, but put it off due to already owning Clive Christian C for men, which is super similar. I saw this half off at an outlet and thought what the heck, it’s discontinued, may as well get it. Versus the original, this is definitely a lot “deeper” smelling and a little darker. It’s more rich. As the name suggests, it’s the more intense version. I would call it more refined. I feel as though having both may be a little redundant. Someone here described it like a big money type of scent. Have to agree. This stuff oozes class. It’s potent, it’s opulent, and it’s fun to wear. I get more of a realistic leather note in this than I do the original. There is a slightly animalic touch that I wish it didn’t have. Would make it a little easier to wear. I plan to wear this to the office, but just one spray. That may even be overkill, and I’ll just do it when I know I’m not going to be in tight quarters with others. Longevity is enough to get you through the day with decent projection. Very high quality and definitely worth what I paid. Looks like prices online are creeping up. This isn’t one that’s worth overpaying for. Just get the original TL. I wouldn’t say the improvement over the original is so vast that it’s worth a huge margin more.

I recently picked up a sample vial of this, after having tried a few sprays in my local TF boutique. I have Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather 16, Oud Wood, Oud Wood Intense, and Oud Minerale - this can be described as a mixture of the best components of each of those. The opening is fresh and earthy, very slightly sweet, but not cloyingly so. It's slightly smokey, but still smells clean. As it starts to dry down, the smokiness fades slightly while the woods start to become more prominent; the earthiness and freshness remain. It largely stays the same throughout the day / evening (when I sprayed it on myself in the store, it lasted 12+ hours easily; dabbing it on myself from the sample vial yielded similar results). Personally, I prefer more linear fragrances that change only very slightly throughout the day - if you prefer ones that tend to change quite drastically throughout the day, this may not be for you. Tuscan Leather (OG) would end up changing quite a bit, becoming very "sharp" by the end of the day; Ombre Leather 16 would end up becoming very cloyingly sweet by the end of the day (note: this is on my skin, which is a bit drier than average, so your results will likely vary). All in all, I'm really pleased with this, and will likely end up returning to purchase a full bottle!
