Leather, but soft.
Leather perfume for men

Leather, but soft.

Leather fragrances are among the most distinctive men’s fragrances. Done well, they don’t smell of a workshop but of a worn leather jacket: warm, soft and a little rough. Here you’ll learn what makes a good leather perfume and how to wear it.

What leather does in a men’s fragrance

Leather isn’t hard. It’s warm.

In perfumery, the impression of leather is built from several components, such as birch tar, saffron, iris or modern leather accords. On its own, leather quickly feels rough. With vanilla, tonka bean and woods it becomes a soft, elegant fragrance with character.

The building blocks

How leather becomes wearable.

Vanilla & tonka

Vanilla and tonka bean take the hardness out of leather and make it soft.

Spices

Cardamom, cinnamon and saffron give leather liveliness and warmth.

Woods

Sandalwood and cedar add structure and keep the fragrance dry enough.

Tobacco

A hint of tobacco ties leather and vanilla into a rounded whole.

General classification of fragrance directions. How a fragrance comes across always depends on the composition and your skin.

How to wear it

How to wear a leather fragrance.

Leather fragrances reward restraint. With these three rules the dose is just right.

01

Apply sparingly

Leather fragrances are present and long-lasting. With an Extrait de Parfum, one or two sprays are enough.

02

On neck and chest

Leather and vanilla need body warmth. Neck, nape and chest are ideal; under your shirt the fragrance stays close to you.

03

For autumn, winter and evenings

In the cold, leather feels round and warm. In summer, a single spray in the evening is enough.

What does a leather perfume smell like?

Depending on the composition, soft like suede, rough like raw leather or warm like a worn leather jacket. Combined with vanilla and woods, leather feels round and elegant.

Is a leather fragrance suitable for everyday wear?

Yes, if it is softly composed and applied sparingly. One spray is enough for the office, two for the evening.

When do you wear a leather perfume?

Best in autumn and winter and in the evening. Cold slows evaporation, so warm notes such as leather and vanilla feel round. More on Winter perfume for men.

How long does a leather fragrance last?

Leather is a base note and lasts a long time. Braise is an Extrait de Parfum with 30% fragrance oil and lasts 12–18 hours on the skin.

Can I try Braise first?

Yes, as a 2 ml sample vial. That way you can experience the fragrance on your skin for a whole day.
