If you’re looking this up on you’re phone right now because this is within your grasp for purchase (blindly) :
——————————————————–
After recently going fetishistic over Tom Ford’s Ombre Leather- I was on an “affordable leather hunt”. Nabeel’s Macho Man was my first successful find…..and now this…
This is NOT a Tom Ford or Armani “high niche” leather.
It is a synthetic “new car smell in a spray can” leather.
If you accept that , in it’s synthetic-ness, you might enjoy it a lot.
If you already own the original A*Men , you probably don’t need this (unless it’s at a good discounted price).
As usual T.M.L. and N.A.A.O.
(thank me later and not all at once)

Absolutely love this stuff, My friend has just finished his 100ml and looking to get another bottle.
This smells amazing, Super silage, Nice and strong and very masculine.
I’d say it’s a try before buy type scent as I can imagine someone finding this horrible but not us, we love it.
If you have a bottle and hate it. Let’s chat.
A for Awesome!

Far and away the best A*Men flanker. I believe “Pure Leather” is actually a perfected version of A*Men, masculine and attention grabbing while less offensive and more mass appealing than its predecessor. Leather is definitely here, but it is far from the leather of Tom Ford or John Varvatos. The leather in this is synthetic and would smell out of place in any other fragrance, but in this MASTERPIECE it smells perfectly at home. The tar note is here for about an hour after first spray, so the nose naive to the original A*Men must be warned to be patient and let this work of art develop. The reward is certainly worth it. Thank a higher power that this was only sold for a short run, as it was never subjected to any dreaded reformulations. This means any bottle that was well cared for will give you excellent longevity (10-12 hours) and great projection relative to the amount of sprays. This is NOT for the new generation of boys and girls afraid to get their hands dirty or smell like anything besides citrus and cotton candy. It takes a certain personality and attitude to avoid letting this powerhouse wear you. Buy this, don’t sample it. If you get home and can’t handle it then give it to the man your girlfriend leaves you for when you come back to “your” apartment to collect your belongings.

Smells like a delicious condom. 8-12 hours beast mode scent. One of the best amen flankers in my opinion. Get your hands on this one before the stock runs out.

This stuff is goergeous in a cold day, it’s a A*men on steroids, even more polarizing, a bit less sweet, but more minty and leathery of course.
The drydown is a bit closer to the original, maybe a bit muskier and not as smooth, I prefer this one over the original since it’s a bit more daring and mature.
The sillage is also really intriguing, smell it up close and it could disturb you but in the air the leather is not as proeminent and it’s more of a mint-patchouli-caramel combo.
Batman would definitely wear this!

If you don’t like the original A*Men, you definitely won’t like this. You also have to like the more animatic side of leather to like this. This isn’t a people-pleasing suedey leather like in Tuscan Leather; it is a leather with stank. Personally, I love this fragrance. I wear A*Men in the gym during the winter and also when I’m bumming around in a puffer jacket and baggy comfortable sweatpants, but this leather flanker is for dressier occasions. I picture a Russian mob boss wearing this on the coldest of winter days

Absolutely awesome. I snagged a 2012 bottle of eBay for the low low. I spray it on a test strip and loved it from the first smell. I wore it today, sprayed 2 sprays. It is now 11 hours later and I can still smell it. Amazing performance. To me this is an uber masculine scent, which I like. I am a dude. And I wanna smell like a dude. I have more amen flankers on the way. I have high hopes for them as well.

Caramel – leathery – vanilla
Color impression: honey and gray
If you’re tired of sweet oriental leathers yet you like a slight zest of mentholated caramel in your abrasive leather, you’re the ideal customer for A*Men Cuir. It hires mouthwatering peculiarity of A*Men’s oozy sweetness and pairs it with minty bitter leather. This leather smells polished like new wallets and shoes in a leather shop. Eventually in dry down our Cuir submerges to a churchgoer smoldering vanilla/benzoin.
★★★★

This is a beast, a beast that takes you on a journey. There’s so much going on with this fragrance.
Imagine the original A*Men DNA with a heavy dose of leather. Leather that is heavy right through the duration of the fragrance. As time goes on you get the other notes, but for me predominately it’s a journey of leather, patchouli, tar, rubber, coffee, honey, caramel on a woody vanilla base. Every time I wear it I get something different, new subtle nuances appear.
This is not for everyone, don’t blind buy. This is a masterpiece for the wearer, but not so much for others around you. In other words, not a generic crowd pleaser.
Well played Mugler!
Easy on the trigger too, it’s potent!

I am perfume obsessed. So, for Xmas I bought my man this version and Havane. (I enjoy Angel Muse, Angel Sucree, and sometimes the real EDP Angel)
Delish. Mmmmmm…. dis is good.
Very very leather. And then sweet woody. Not so much caramel or other individual notes, just leathery woods in a creamy way.
Nuclear upon first blast but then dried down rather disappointing, as I had to get close to his tee-shirt to sniff it.
Havane comes today!
I grabbed this off ebay as a tester in box, so it’s really affordable. The potency tho is a bummer, but for the price, it’s all good.
(I have not tried the original A*men)

There are leather scents and there are LEATHER SCENTS… and well Les Parfums de Cuir de Mugler falls somewhere far away from there. This is a sweet mess of a scent with that signature A*Men DNA. If you want a pure leather scent this is not for you. If you want something quirky, strange or different then this will be your jam. LPdC starts strong and then jumps into this weird kaleidoscope of a scent. As the scent progresses it becomes more of a fun gourmand of a scent.
The opening blast of LPdC unveils to me a leather, caramel and patchouli trio that is rich and robust, setting the stage for big bold notes. The next notes that appear are a skanky honey, coffee, and mint (which adds a real freshness to this scent, I would say a real RISK is taken here and it is great!!!!!). This transition culls off a bit of the sweetness and sets up the appearance of this crazy mix of benzoin, amber and tonka that gives a sweet incense vibe (it almost comes off a bit bleachy). One thing of note here is that the caramel wafts in and out of this scent and plays very well with the coffee. This is gourmand to the gills. The florals eventually kick in with a bit of lily and jasmine that come into break up the sweetness and the incense vibe of the scent. As this scent steams on to its’ dry down we get a dry lavender, some fruity notes, sandalwood and some musk. Throughout the scent we get a light dusting of coriander to give this scent a continued thread of spice. LPdC eventually dries down to a woody, green finish of cedar, and green notes adding to the strange uniqueness of this scent. LPdC ticks all the boxes because of its eclectic mix of notes, but it is up to the wearer to determine what boxes were ticked for them and simply if it suits them.
This scent is pure winter, day or night. Keep it out of the office, because it is so beastly and different. If you love Mugler’s A*Men line then you will surely like this, but if you are new to this line and want a leather scent, then give it a few tries first, because it may not be exactly what you are looking for. LPdC is for that fragrance lover that likes something a bit campy, rich or strange from time to time.
This is a Fall/Winter scent that works well under some flannel or a scarf. Give this a few sprays when you are off to discover a new dive bar… if the bar is uninspiring your scent certainly wont be!

This stuff is a powerhouse. Not to be taken lightly. The most leather smelling cologne I’ve come across. Very intense leather opening then it settles down nicely exposing its angel DNA. Unfortunately not my style I have a near full 3.4 oz bottle for trade. Message me

All the coffee, patchouli and caramel strangeness of the original A*Men, right down to the unexpected twist of mint, with an added touch of dry leather. It’s as disjointed, frightening and mouthwateringly odd as you’d expect.

aa_sch – 2022-06-20:

My nose doesn’t get most of these notes. After a trial wearing, first I get citrus (the bergamot) in the top then some sweet tobacco then incense in the drydown. This reminds me in the top and middle of the male version of Shalimar. This does not last long and does not project very far.

Opens very similar to the original a*men. After 5 min the patchouli starts to go back and the mint gets more prominent and closer to menthol cooling scent, the leather wakes up.
In the middle its soft leather like suede gloves and more dark and less sharp a*men with a nice mint lavender accord- very enjoyable.
The drydown is smoky soft leather with a*men – less chocolate bit more coffee.. and after 8 hours it smells like an old book… with a hint of anus.. I guess it is the animalic aspect.
This is my first impression so as a*men scents usually have different accents on different notes depends on when you wear it – i stay open minded about it.

@yaniv84 are you nuts?! Pure Leather is a feminine scent? And not a “cologne for men” as you said? Pure Leather is one of the most dark and masculine scents on the market. Perhaps youre mixing it up with the original? Pay attention to what page on your on

The Aim behind this for me is the TM A*men as a perfume. A bit more honey, a bit more powdery… and a bit of everything in it one more time.. on leather. This is ‘the smell of beloved woman’ that you never saw to spray something on her, but her hair and clothes always smelled wonderful IN A (*) MEN Fashion. Just got a bottle with a 20 anniversary sticker on it and I still feel the effort to kick down all mistakes in fancy bottles with weird smell and color that are on the market nowadays!!! I do not hate others , I just appreciate the existence of this.
Perfect TM -Effect!!!

I really like this fragrance. It does smell like a more suede type leather. It smells manly. I think a lot of folks, including me want to smell pleasant. There’s a huge amount of stuff out there that smells pleasant and boyish. Unisex metrosexual pleasant dominates so much of our culture in popular fragrances these days. Manliness never goes out of style though, and women get turned on by it. Sure, if you spray this and acqua di gio on a paper and have women smell it, they’ll like the aquatics all day….on the paper. However, you put this on, wear a t shirt, jeans, some leather rocker boots, and act like you got a pair, and the women are going to go with you to your bedroom to please you. This is a man’s smell. It’s also pleasant, but masculine-ly so. This is for a guy who takes what he wants out of life and doesn’t wait submissively for permission.

This has that tar note opening in the original A*men running all the way through it with some added leather. It’s strong stuff. But i can’t recommend it. Stick with the original .

Nice… Those who like leather, should give a try. You wont be disappointed, if you like coco burning with suger kinda smell. Seriously, sweet yet elegant masculine fragrance. I liked original but love pure leather.
I agree with Carlosrafael… A Men might be lingering somewhere but pure leather has a distinct identity.
Celeria, try on FragranceNet, you might have to try searching for Pure Leather instead of Les Parfums De Cuir.
I get a very good projection for first 3 to 4 hours, people standing at 4 feet away can easily sniff that sweet coco and leather. After that it stays close but still leaves a trail. Longevity is good, I get solid 10 hours. If it is sprayed on clothes, you’ll smell it after 24 hours as well but I wont suggest as it might get settled in clothes. I have it and definitely keep in my closet. One of my go to juice, my rating:
1. Projection – 7.5/10
2. Longevity – 8/10
3. Smell/Fragrance – 9/10

Sometimes you don’t know who to believe. One needs simply to try fragrances out by oneself and judge based on one’s unique nose and experience.
First is first. This is a great fragrance and if you are looking for leather, leather you will get.
This is the first Thierry Mugler Pure fragrance I purchased (3 weeks ago and since then I have added 4 more). I purchased it after much thinking and vacillation about which of all the Pure line I should buy first. I had sampled all of them but purchased Pure Leather on the Internet as it was offered at a very low price on the Internet. It was a blind buy after listening to many reviews say it is the closest flanker to the original A Men but toned down to be more wearable. Many reviews on you tube claimed the leather was minimal or even barely detectable. On that note I decided to buy PL.
Now the belying begins. To my nose, even though Leather shares the same common DNA as the rest of the flankers this is not a toned down version of A Men. PL has a very prominent leather scent that I don’t smell in any other Pure flanker or the original A Men. It has its own unique smell profile and character. The leather is all over the place it is a sweet and pleasant leather, and at times resembles suede or split leather. At times the leather smells smokey, and even though Fragrantica does not list incense in PL’s scent profile, I get an incense smell. You can smell other accords but they are all behind the leather. No leather apologies here. YouTube reviewers apparently influence each other’s reviews because it was common to hear PL is really what A Men should have smelt like (alluding to their similarity). Nonsense in my opinion. A Men is all about the Patchouli and PL about the leather. The leather here takes PL to a different path.
PL is very wearable. You can use it casually and formally. Like most leather fragrances it is better suited for evening and night wear, and cooler weather. It is not Chanel’s Cuir Russie but it is not English Leather either. It is elegant and easy going for being a leather fragrance. I personally don’t generally like leather fragrances, with a few exceptions (I love the Coach line of leather fragrances), but PL falls on the exception side for me. I like it and enjoy wearing it. The dried fruit and caramel accords gives the leather a sweet smell I like and the patchouli gives it a special character, all without taking away the leather from the leather.
Sillage is average and longevity is above average. If you spray it on your clothes you will still smell it on them and your skin 24 hours later.

I have 4 open bottles of Mugler A*Men fragrances that I have open and am using. Normally, I only allow myself one bottle per house and prefer to use up what I have rather than opening new bottles that will risk turning bad once I start adding oxygen into the bottle. I have to really like a house to have as many as 4 open at a given time. Today I packed 3 of them away to the off season cabinet and will not wear them again for the next 6 months when fall/winter arrives once again. I really like Mugler. Mugler A*Men Pure Leather is like a Shoneys breakfast buffet.
Pure leather is an interesting scent. While many are familiar with the Angel Man DNA, pure leather stays true to the house dna but veers off in an interesting direction. Mugler took vats of Angel Man and added actual leather to let them soak and age for about a month in a process of infusion.
Many leather scents are either idealized synthetic creations or reflect tanning oils that is used to treat the leather. Pure leather is not a scent of new car seats, shoes, purses, boots, baseballs or the gloves that catch them. It has a grittier rawhide smell to it. And that rawhide juxtaposes nicely with the sweet gourmand Angel Man dna.
As with most Angel Man scents and their flankers performance is excellent. Pure leather is an end of the day scent and once you spray it on you do not need another booster spray for the rest of the day. Whether you put it on at 8 AM or 8 PM, it is going to stay with you throughout the day unless you wash it off or do a scrub. One spray is enough to give you a wealth of sillage. There are very few fragrances that give you the longevity or projection of these Angel Man flankers and Pure Leather performs with any of them.
My usage of this fragrance has been heavy. It is by far my most worn fragrance in my Mugler collection and has been the last 2 years. And I get requests for it and top tier compliments when I wear it. I enjoy wearing fragrances that I can replace and I do own a backup bottle of this one. I could drain Pure Leather and am on pace to do so quickly and feel that I could get it back. Other Muglers get discontinued or stay expensive. I once considered spending $300 on Pure coffee when it got discontinued and people started raving about it because it did; and am glad that I did not and still do not own it to this day. I’ve worn Pure Leather probably 3 dozen times in the last 2 fall/winter seasons and my bottle has a dent in it from heavy use even though I feel that I am light on the trigger.
Overall, I am going to grade Pure Leather at 87. Its better than good but doesn’t quite have the sparkle that some of its family members have. I give it maximum points in performance and longevity. And value for the money is off the charts these days. You can find Pure Leather for $10 an ounce if you look though I keep thinking those prices will not last. And that is a remarkable value for a house that usually sells 3 ounce bottles for around $90.
The real question is how to grade the leather in this fragrance. Most leather fragrances blend versions of idealized leather into their scents rather than infusing them with actual leather. You might hear about one fragrance smelling like a saddle, or another like a new wallet, purse, or bomber jacket. Pure Leather did not go that direction and it is a harsher raw leather like you might get before you start tanning the hide balanced out by the sweetness of the Angel DNA. Its not “elegant” like most leather top note fragrances. I own a variety of leather fragrances and really like the note. This is not my favorite leather fragrance but it is in my top 10. And the reason is that I feel that there is an honesty to the leather that escapes the many others that have been *created* and molded into *fashion*.
I think Pure Leather would appeal to 3 kinds of perfume buyers. The first is obviously the Mugler fan boys who want all the flankers of Angel Man. This one is different and unique and stands out from the others in the line and is worthy of purchase by collectors of Mugler mens scents. The second buyer that would enjoy this is the one that has a lot of leather scents and wants something different. This is not another refined, well tanned, buttery soft leather. Pure Leather has a harshness and rawness to it that gives you a leather without pretense. I love Midnight in Paris but its a very elegant leather and Pure Leather has a bit of Biker Bar in Nacodoches feel to it. The third happy buyer is going to be someone that wants to build a solid fragrance collection without spending a fortune. There are people that have less than 52 fragrances which suggests wearing each one for a week of wears each year. These are people that grow their collections slowly and buy maybe 2 bottles a month and use up 1. You could almost argue that if you aren’t wearing a fragrance 5 times a year that maybe you shouldn’t own it. Pure Leather has a unique leather note, combined with the standard beautiful and lovely mid and base from Angel Man with all the quality performance, appeal, and quality of its parent, and you can buy it for $35 or less these days. I doubt that few people can name a dozen houses, lines, or even scents that perform better and have higher quality ingredients than the Mugler Angel Man line and its flankers and Pure Leather is a steal at the price where its selling these days. Mugler fans, Leather fans, or just those that want a top tier quality fragrance at a good deal are all likely to be happy here. Though you might not like the leather and I don’t recommend a blind buy if $40 is more than a little important to you.
Shoneys used to have these restaurants that were next to their motels and if you stayed at a Shoneys Inn you got to eat at the buffet for free. Those buffets had everything, eggs, fruit, pancakes, sausage, bacon, gravy and biscuits and more. And Pure Leather is like that as well. The harsher leather is not going to appeal to some people that expect their leather elegant and refined. But Shoneys isnt a 4 star hotel or 5 star meal. Pure Leather has a lot going for it. It is a very high quality scent built on the classic Angel Men DNA that has been a superstar line in the fragrance world. It is unique compared with other Angel Men flankers and other leather fragrances. It outlasts 97% of any fragrance ever made. And at $35 it sells for $10 an ounce and what I consider budget, bargain bin prices. There isnt a person in the world that has actually worn $350 per bottle Tom Ford fragrances that would actually suggest they are higher quality, longer lasting, or better performing scents than the Angel Men flankers. It all comes down to just how well you like the smell.
My grandfather used to speak of breakfasts that would stick to your ribs and when you go to a Shoneys’ buffet its all spread out for you to enjoy. When you walk out of that place you don’t need more to eat. You are full. And Pure Leather sure aint no fragrance on no diet.

Just when I thought that A*Men would be one of the notable perfumes a man could wear to part a room with just a couple of sprays, imagine the look on my face and the size of my eyes when I sprayed some Pure Leather on…
Based on some recommendations I bought this blind knowing that it had a good portion of A*Men’s DNA composed within. To my surprise and amazement I couldn’t believe the amount of leather in this scent. It’s not a comfortable, warm leather either. It’s rather deep, dark, and smoky/rubbery. Paired with the signature Mugler patchouli in the mix, it felt like an assault by a dominatrix who had a bad day before coming in to work.
As the scent mellows (finally) the leather doesn’t really let go at all. The original A*Men used to keep an intensity with vanilla over patchouli. Pure Leather doesn’t let go of the leather either like hands bound with leather ties behind the back. The patchouli and leather meet with perfect unison in the later stages of development.
Moral of this review? Pure leather can hurt if you’re tense and struggle with it. RELAX, just let it take over. Much more surprising and more pleasurable that way. 😉

The name on this webpage is not correct. The correct name is Pure Leather. I had a hell of a time trying to figure out why I could find Pure Leather on Amazon but not on Fragrantica.

lebedych – 2022-06-20:

Very interesting. Upon spraying I was very unsure about this, it’s got a bite to it. Very strong and I can see how over spraying can be an issue. That leather note is right in your face and, to me, it’s got this skunkiness to it. When I was a kid I had a He-man action figure called Stinkor who was a skunk and smelled just like this. Not saying it’s necessarily bad, but it brought back that memory the moment I smelled it, so I can understand why others are saying it has a synthetic vibe to it.
This smell, like others said, is right up front strong for a good hour then blends into the other notes nicely. I get a real soapy scent throughout, even in the strong leather phase. I did really enjoy this once it blended into the caramel and honey, I get more of a light pure malt vibe hiding in there mixed with the soapy and leather.
That first hour though was a little cloying, but I may have over done it. You’d be pretty insensitive to apply this in small area where people are around. Will not be wearing this one to work but I do like it. I’d be wary of blind buying it, find a sample first, this will definitely not be for everyone.

An amazing fragrance, if you can get it at a deal, get it now. I paid full price when it first came out. ($100+)
Now I think you can get it for less. Many retailers have sold out though. Not sure if it is in production still, I guess it could be, although I know the original plan was that it was a limited release. So get it while you can.
Apparently when Clarins created this fragrance they “aged regular A*Men in leather tanks, at Clarin’s Strasbourg facility, for four weeks” to infuse it with the leather nuances. This may be true but I feel like there may have been leather notes added.

Man I don’t know where to begin with this. I’ll start by saying that I love it. I own pure havane and pure leather and the latter is definitely my favorite out of the two, not saying I don’t like the other because I do but this just has so much depth to it. This scent is extremely masculine but doesn’t have any harsh notes in it, its very silky and easy to smell without getting tired of it or punched in the nose by some citrus/acidic type note. What I smell is a combo of leather and caramel.. Which almost smells like chocolate. Its like a match made in heaven. Pure leather opens strong and stays strong. The scent doesn’t evolve too much but near the end it does give off a bit of a new shoe smell vibe but trust me this isn’t a bad thing. Lasts on skin 6-8 hours with great projection. Lasts on clothes days. This is one of the few scents I cant see a woman wearing, so any guys interested in a cologne that is no way feminine, this may be it. Not sure why some negative reviews, but this should be tried.. On a side note this does smell a bit similar to the original a men. To me this is a masterpiece.. And you can get it for 40 bucks!

Definately the STRONGEST fragrance Ive ever come across. One spray to the chest and it chokes me out ALL DAY LONG!!! Insane..too cloying, too annoying, too much for me…not pleasant at all. Original Amen is much better.

The strongest of the amen line in terms of longivity and projection on my skin, this fragrance should have a warning that saids “use only in cold weather”.

I love the original A*Men.
So I heard this one was the most similar to the original but with a leather note, so I decided to try it as my first flanker of A*Men.
The descriptions are dead on – This is basically A*Men + leather note. However, the leather note in this is absolutely repulsive and unbearable. It definitely smells fake and synthetic and extremely unpleasant.
Just such a terrible note which clashes with all the pleasant notes from the original and ruins it.
Try before you buy.

This has to be one of the more unique designer fragrances I’ve ever put my nose on. Im yet to find a designrer fragrance that goes as far from point A to B. It truly is a journey when you wear this one. You have to ride it out. First spray is terrible IMHO. You have extremely synthetic unpleasant leather on top of the tar notes amen original is known for. I find it offensive. When I wear this fragrance I always put it on an hour before I leave. About an hour in and the transition is happening. The tar note is gone and I’m getting a slightly lighter Amen with just a touch of the synth leather sticking around. 3 hours in and this one starts turning into a gourmond. Absolutely shocked to think that repulsive first spray ended up here. It has a carmal and coco vibe with just a touch of leather underneath but nothing like the leather from first spray. My ex loved to snuggle with this scent when it was in dry down mode. If she caught it at the beginning I would have been put out with the dogs.

Pure Leather is A*Men done right!; it drops much of that nauseating, headache-inducing, A*Men sickly-sweetness and tar note and is much more wearable. Now, as for the ‘Pure Leather’ moniker which is arguably confusing to many, including myself, who were expecting this fragrance to be something akin to Tuscan Leather or Golden Boy…well, the leather is there, but it’s more subtle and not in-your-face. Still, while better than the original A*Men, there are several A*Men flankers I prefer over this one: Pure Havane, Pure Malt, Ultra Zest, Pure Wood and Pure Coffee.
Initially, I was somewhat disappointed since this fragrance didn’t fully live-up to it’s namesake. However, after wearing it a few times I realized the leather toned-down the obnoxious side of A*Men which makes for an excellent fragrance; again, it’s A*Men (very similar smell) but done right!
Projection is excellent and this fragrance last for more than 18-hours on my skin (perhaps even beast mode). I love this fragrance almost as much as Pure Malt and Pure Havane…and way more than the original A*Men.

I will tell you my honest opinion about A*Men Pure Leather.
I really love Thierry Mugler fragrances. And so i really wanted to love this one. Didn’t worked.
This thing is the most ugliest fragrance i have ever smelled. Seriously! Guys, dont waste your money on this….original A*Men is masterpiece compared to this, and masterpiece on its own. There is no leather. This is some rubbery smell which after 3-4 hours becomes to stink. i tried on my skin, on my friend’s skin, and on chlotes. I was really giving it a chance. But no. It stays the same. Funny thing is that i bought it because watching youtube reviews, and reading here. I Love the A*Men top, but after it fades away after 3 hours you are
