I’m playing around with leather fragrances right now. I have Aoud Leather, Ombre Leather(2018), Tuscan Leather and Uncomprimising Sohan (not a real leather) on right now. Cycling amongst them I likely have some anosmia going on but I do not believe that the Montale smells like the TF fragrances very much at all. I also have had a couple of noses smell me and the consensus appears to be that that on my skin the Montale is the sweetest and surprisingly the least leather like. The Ombre Leather is the most authentic leather smell to my nose and the most masculine of the three.
nzf570Unlogrere – :
My first niche perfume, but I’m not fond of it, I think I thought/imagined too much about this juice and brand. Earlier I tried some Montale samples and I didn’t like them, I smelled too much oud and were old fashioned, but now I bought a full bottle from Aoud Leather, because I like leather smell.
Interesting that this perfume is not cloying, fresh, oily, I can smell smoky oud-leather-wood with a touch of scratched medicinal rose (I know that doesn’t contain, maybe the saffron), little bit smells like an oriental incense, not a modern scent, but it’s not difficult to wear. On me the projection is close to the skin quickly, longevity about 6-8 hours in Summer.
My box says 3.4 Fl.oz, however the bottle says 3 1/3, is it fine?
vpnwd741 – :
I know Tuscan Leather has the raspberry note in the opening and this supposedly doesn’t, but I do think that it has a sweetness very similar to Mont Blanc Individuel and people seem to agree that Mont Blanc has as very prominent raspberry note, so I don’t know. What is most puzzling to me about this fragrance is the striking resemblance to Cool Water for women. That one also has a raspberry note, so maybe it’s not so far fetched. I would very much like to hear other people’s opinion about this matter though.
EntintyAtmomy – :
Like everyone else, I do get the similarities to Tuscan Leather, but there is one thing about Aoud Leather that is noticeably different. Instead of TL’s famous leather/raspberry combo, we get leather/bergamot instead. And I actually prefer this. Leather fragrances can be really heavy or even sometimes cloying, but the citrus here really brightens things up, making it somewhat lighter and clean, rather than being dark and smoky. Performance on this one is outstanding, I get 12 hrs easily with two sprays, so go easy on the sprayer. Overall, a very enjoyable leather scent and more versatile and wearable than Tuscan Leather.
sation – :
Very similar to TF Tuscan Leather. Almost identical But the fruity/raspberry note of TF is replaced here by citruses.
This has monster longevity and If you spray it in a room you need a blower to clear the sillage. It just sticks everywhere and stay.
Too powerfull for me and I had to give it away.

Fragrance -Aoud Leather Montale
Bottle from – 2015
I personally like leather fragrances.For some reason Aoud Leather reminds me of a elegant and kind knight warrior,if that makes any sense.
This is Pierre Montale’s stylish,sensual,sophisticated and graceful take on a classic leather scent with a bit citrusy opening notes of bergamot,quickly followed by warm and hot spices with dominant saffron in the middle that give way to a rich,woody and deep blend of warm and a bit soft leather and light oud with a wisper of ambergris in the drydown.It has similarities to Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford,but Aoud Leather is more spicy,less sweet and less fruity than TL.It is also similar to C for Men by Clive Christian,Godolphin by Parfums de Marly,golden Boy by Dueto and Colonia Leather by Acqua di Parma.
Longevity – 10/10(12+ hours)
Silage/Projection – 9,5/10(heavy projection and silage for the first 3-4 hours)
Weather – best in early spring,autumn and winter.
Age – 25+
Compliments – 7/10
Scent – 8,5/10
Main notes according to me – leather,oud,saffron,bergamot,spices.
The drydown is a bit spicy and warm and I get some -leather,oud,spices and ambergris.
Emotions -elegant knight warrior,sophisticated,stylish, warm,dark vibe elegance,rich,sensual.
Occasion -perfect for special occasions,formal events and night out.
patap2008 – :
This stuff is BEAST MODE. It smells very close to Tuscan Leather. Although once the leather fades it is very fruity, but this only happens after about 12 hrs or so. After the leather fades it is a bit feminine. Don’t let that discourage you though, this is a great fragrance. In my opinion it is only unisex once the leather fades, before that it is a more masculine fragrance.

Creamy metallic – oud – spicy
Color impression: brown
Few years ago when I was almost new to glimmers of mushroomly-growing niche market, this perfume was my first high-end blind buy and, undoubtedly, my most regretful purchase which I eventually poured in lavatory in a video on Instagram! Montale tried to take befit of fame of Tuscan Leather in a different dimension with agarwood, cardamom and saffron instead of raspberry.
It’s juicy, spicy wet, creamy, and sad metallic. I wore it some times specially in early spring but it spoiled my day every time and made me feel like squatter dweller in uptown! If you only care for longevity and sillage, Montale is your brand. Seriously over-week longevity and blocks ahead sillage. Isn’t weird?

TF Tuscan Leather fans might want to pick this one up if Tuscan Leather is falling out of your budget. This has got a lot of similarities and whilst not 100% a clone, I’d say this shares a good 80% similarity and can easily pass for TF Tuscan Leather on a few sniffs.
I do like this scent and it’s growing on me. The saffron/fruity note which is similar in TF TL is hard for me to get past at first but as this dries down you begin to get a really nice rich leather and dry wood/oud….what I like about this fragrance is that this doesn’t have the standard rubber, tarry, syntehtic, Oud note that so many of their Aoud line have (Dark Aoud, Black Aoud, Nepal Aoud, etc)
It’s a very pleasant fragrance and I keep going back for sniffs trying to discern if this is really for me….I think I really do like it and it would be a nice addition to my collection because it’s something different and something I can wear on different occasions.
nortik777 – :
I adore Tuscan Leather TF and I hope I like this scent. I am so at odds with purchasing TF Tuscan Leather because it’s just too pricey to purchase arbitrarily. I had Tuscan Leather once and sold it foolishly. I hope if I do repurchase it, I won’t let that happen again!
anlpoprxbxb – :
On my skin, this is the best leather fragrance along with Tom Ford “Tuscan Leather” they both run neck to neck, depending on my mood and evening. I do smell the difference. AL is more fruitier and TL has more raspberry. But either do the same job. TL does last a little longer on my skin.
Rasasi does not come into the playing field with me. Sorry to their fans.
Golden Boy is good, but in the shadow.
I have 2 back up bottles of Aoud Leather as I never, ever want to run out of this juice that clings to my skin, grabbing the attention of the women around me. That is what I like, along with enjoying the smell myself.
xdimas – :
I am a bit confused since the fragrance is called “aoud leather” and on my skin it smells very fruity.
Like a refined version of Escape for men by Calvin Klein.
HixOrbini – :
Tuscan Leather “Aqua”.
This is only slightly similar to Tuscan Leather, it’s absolutely its own scent. This is the same leather and saffron notes, but no suede or raspberry, replaced instead by sharp, citrusy bergamot and oud.
Although it’s strong, this is not as heavy as Tuscan Leather. The added citrus causes the scent to be brighter and the leather to be a bit more rubbery, but not so much so as Fahrenheit, or anything.
Tom Ford could have released this scent himself as “Tuscan Leather Aqua” and not a single soul would have questioned it, but I actually rather respect that this is NOT a clone! It smells great and stands on its own merits.
Did I mention this is strong?! Wow!Update: After purchasing a full bottle at a price I just couldn’t refuse ($76) I will also add that I’ve received NUMEROUS compliments on this one! Personally, I usually prefer Tuscan Leather to this, however it seems that others tend to prefer the smell of Aoud Leather on me. It’s a crowd pleaser! Everyone who’s compared this to Tuscan Leather has told me that this one fits my personality better. But, everyone is different and I still love Tuscan Leather equally.
Also – When you buy a bottle, don’t be surprised if it feels like it’s half empty. It took comparing the bottle to every other bottle in my collection before I realized that as small as the bottle is, the bottle itself would probably hold more than 5 ounces, so yes, it isn’t completely full, but it is 3.4oz of liquid inside.
miha31fgh – :
Yes yes yes! Agree a 110% with @adamthompson below, this is a beauty! and honestly, i can’t tell the difference between TF’s TL and this.
If I had to pick, I’d go with this one, no doubt!
A classic male scent; it makes you feel like you’re the alpha male of the pack!
jqvizee – :
I prefer this scent over many of the other oud based fragrances because it doesn’t have rose mixed in. Fragrance has no gender but this one definitely leans more towards what you’d consider masculine scents to smell like. Pierre Montale certainly knows his oud!
Deroxuvvef – :
If you know Tuscan Leather from Tom Ford you will know what this smells like. Its a sweet fruity leather with a dusty smoky background. I am pretty sure a trained nose could tell them apart side by side. I highly doubt that anyone could tell the difference from you wearing it. Meaning if you are wearing this and you tell someone its TL they would not know the difference.
Cost
Can be found for $103 for 100ml. The same size bottle of TL is $264 from the same site. I don’t see why you would buy TL
So far its STRONG. Very close to TL performance from what I can tell.
I did a small swipe yesterday and had the kids smell it. My oldest just said she loved it. Several times actually. My little one whom has a pretty good nose for scents and can smell very well told me I smell like fruit and cigarettes (Grammy is a smoker). But she liked it.
It is not a safe blind buy so test it first. I would recommend if you like TL give this a shot!
barilla – :
@the_badger.. i agree with you. The synthetic harsh tone puts me off. I cant wear my AL coz of this note. Dissapointed!
Kasperok – :
There is something harsh and synthetic about AL that makes it off-putting. It was also because of this that I avoided TF TL for so long. When I finally got a decant of TL, I was surprised of how soft and smooth it was, compared to the bitter and harsh AL. Even if they are 95% similar, it only takes 5% to ruin it.
cnr566JeomiWogkig – :
The fragrance is sharp and not so welcoming. On my skin Agarwood Oud oil is pretty prominent. I was expecting Leather Oud to be little softer(after reading reviews), but it is not. It fragrance is very sharp for initial few hours. It is not for the young crowd. It is definitely for someone 40+ men(nowhere near being a unisex frag, not good for even 90+ grandma’s).To me Montales smell like local cheap agarwood attar oil blending available in India. Sharp, in face & cheap.
The initial opening was pleasing for few seconds but right after that Oud became prominent with harsh smokey leather. I can’t sense any notes due to the dominance of the Oud. And yes it is mildly smokey, feels like frankincense burning in the background. I do not get any fruitiness or any other notes mentioned. I do not find it to be smooth/soft/approachable.But, one might get compliments(sarcastic ones) for being loud in face, which Montales are good at. I liked the absolute dry down when it became skin scent and the way my skin was smelling.
Longevity average on skin with 6-8 hours on me. And silage is good for first 3-4 hours. The performance is not as good as Black Aoud.
I find it to be overrated.

Would like to sell this one. Just doesn’t work well on me.
Message me if interested.
g0odwin5 – :
Montale Aoud Leather is not one of the house’s special or interesting scents, in my opinion, as it is essentially a mix of leather, oud, and saffron, but not even nearly as interesting as that mixture might lead one to believe.
Its one redeeming quality might be that it’s safe, as far as oud- and leather-dominant fragrances go, not terribly daring or likely to offend.
Aoud Cuir d’Arabie is a much more interesting leather offering from the house of Montale, so I’d surely suggest that over Aoud Leather.
6 out of 10
johnalex888 – :
A surprisingly polite and wearable leather/oud. There’s a fruity, aquatic note, especially in the opening, that tones down the animalic quality turning this into a sleek, refined, men’s club leather. I’ve seen some comparisons with Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather; I can see some similarities as both are refined, slightly fruity leathers but the leather in the Montale is much more sharp and in-your-face. It has a bit of a smoky, bitter, ashtray quality that some may dislike (I’m guessing this is from the oud) – I personally enjoy it but it’s not for everyone. AL also has a pronounced, modern, aquatic quality which I don’t remember from TL. All in all, I’d say this was a fairly wearable leather, suitable for the office if your style tends toward the slightly outre. A nice smoky, fruity leather.
vkonreger – :
I hate Tuscan leather, this is a similar smell but much nicer and more wearable
marinka198618 – :
Very nice smooth leather and aoud, im not getting much spice though and in my opinion this is a very dry scent in that there is barely any sweetness. Which is fine some like that though I prefer a bit of sweet. It’s very very good, crisp clean fresh leather woodsy I just wish it were that tiny touch sweeter.
Djiper – :
Since I can’t stand the Tuscan Leather after 40 mins, I had to try every fragrance that smelt like Tuscan Leather because Tuscan Leather’s opening is one of the BEST openings ever.
Aoud Leather was a big suprize.
Watery Leather.
Aoud Leather opens up very close to Tuscan Leather. It has leather and saffron at the opening with slightly fruity wibe. Leather is much more watery comparing to Tuscan Leather’s opening. Leather is very smooth and doesn’t disturb. Olibanum note that gives the smoke to Tuscan Leather isn’t that prominent here which makes it more wearable for me.
Aoud Leather will last over 16 hours on skin and over a week on cloths. It is an amazing fragrance.
xiotforce – :
I can’t compare this to TL as I don’t have it to hand so I will stick to describing the notes I can smell (I remember they smell very similar but cant compare them simultaneously)
It’s a linear perfume that remains almost the same throughout. It has some sweet gourmand smell, ambergris and of course leather. I can’t smell any spices or citrus as mentioned in the notes above. Certainly no oud in any of the notes.
Sillage and longevity are excellent like the rest of montale, so 2-3 spritz max.
Рычек – :
A lot has been said, so I would just like to ad some comparison comments to Tuscan Leather.
I have a small decant of Tuscan Leather. I like the smell, but is not wearable or versatile enough for me to pay the high price so I got a good deal on ebay for Aoud Leather.
When I first spritzed it on, I thought, smells just like Tuscan Leather. Like a photograph of someone looks just like the image of the real person.
The thing I liked most about Tuscan Leather is how rich and oily and intense all the notes are. With Aoud Leather, you get the true image of Tuscan Leather, but missing much of the richness.The scent is 90% same as TL, the richness is 75% of TL, price 30% of TL.
It is a good quality clone of TL. The difference is like the vintage Bel Ami from 1986, and the 2006 version of Bel Ami, it’s mostly richness and intensity being the difference.
Update: I gave this a better wearing, and I like wearing it more than Tuscan Leather. TL has that wow factor that many TF Private Blends have, but Aoud Leather is more versatile, comfortable, cozy.
It starts off like TL, but then gets more like “Cuirs” leather and oud frag, with some green herbal notes. I do pick up the Oud more in Aoud Leather than TL, it just subtly ads to the fragrance and makes it more interesting, pleasing.
Maybe it is the exceptional green Cardomom that I am picking up here, more pronounced here than with TL.
I guess it’s the green cardomon, but something makes it slightly gourmand, something smells like hops or barley, a beer kind of smell. This beer like smell, or reminds me of bread, makes the fragrance comfortable and cozy. It lightens up a somewhat rich balsamic Oriental. It reminds me of Fortis in that way.
You can try spraying generously with this one, it doesn’t become cloying, but the quality notes and blending allow you to turn up the volume, and get a fuller effect.

Really good leather scent, one of the best I’ve smelled, to me even better than Tuscan Leather, this one is less sweet, a bit more on the masculine side to my nose.

Solid Stuff
I wasn’t sure what to expect, given all the polarising reviews that Montale gets, when I bought this one. A lot of the positive reviews were from people whose reviews I trust and understand. And based on that alone, pretty much like most times, I jumped on this one. And boy was I surprised!
Straight to the point- this is a spicy-leather scent with a generous helping of saffron and ambergris. A very potent opening that will easily offend people who are not into these types of perfumes. The initial citrus accord is very bitter-ish-spicy but very short lived so it’s just fine. Black Pepper and Saffron are the two notes that dominate the life of this scent, with quite incredible depth. It doesn’t smell exactly the same all the way. Different shades emerge as time goes by. The cardamom, something I’m not usually fond of, brings great depth here to the other spices ( I get traces of cloves, cinnamon and bay leaf) and the saffron accord. The leather here is very soft and smooth. Very polished and subtle (at least on my skin). There’s also a boozy vibe to the whole thing that, together with saffron, pepper, & leather kinda reminds me of Bentley Intense. (It is quite similar in terms of the overall vibe.) And beneath all this is, what, to me, feels like, really good quality Ambergris. It’s salty, slightly sweet, with some ambery-floral nuances. And finally, the Oud. It’s extremely subtle here. Not at all the dominant note. Just something like a catalyst of sorts, added to bring out certain facets in the other elements. It’s there – slightly medicinal and dark – but more like a filter added in post-production. It just adds a certain vibe to the main theme. Projection, sillage, and longevity are all on the higher side.
All in all, beautiful. An incredibly nice spicy-leather scent with great depth and a classy vibe.

Nice and seemingly titillating reviews I’m getting about this Montale product! But is it a cologne one could blind buy? I understand it’s really long lasting and its oft comparisms with Tuscan Leather (by Tom Ford) is amping up my olfactory curiosity! I’ll definitely give this a try! Soon!
Plebybiliabakk – :
An Addictive Rough Smell
I cannot accept the claim that it’s super synthetic. the representation of oud in fragrance world is always medicinal/synthetic as far as my limited experience goes, and the overall synthetic level of Oud Leather is totally acceptable for me.
if you don’t like the raspberry in Tuscan Leather and it’s too expensive for you (though no doubt it’s a masterpiece)…
if you find GoldenBoy harsh…
if Godolphin is weak….
Oud Leather is the answer.
Dark
Powerful Projection
Great Longevity
Great value for the money
ggbheejjnf – :
A very strong scent and long lasting- it lasts for over 24 hours on my skin !
However, I found the smell rather chemical for the first hour or so. If you can wait past that time, it develops into something smooth and nice. Not much oud still but for those who love sweet and long lasting, this is the ideal fragrance.
gangsters-unit – :
This is another scent that I may be a little biased with as I do like MOST, but not ALL of the Montale Paris line. I know that the house of Montale Paris catches a lot of flack, but I have to respectfully disagree. Montale Paris has almost always has great projection and longevity on my skin, which makes it a natural favorite house of mine.
Now on to Aoud Leather…
This one gets compared to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather a lot. It is the same as TL? No. It is similar? Yes.
The initial spray fills the room with a bright, happy, velvety, warm and inviting sensation, like standing in an open field basking in the rays of the golden afternoon sun.
AL is a smooth, sweet, luxurious, classy, masculine and classy leathery wood scent with a bit of spice and a touch of floral to it. While I do get a bit of Oud, it is blend in and not overpowering. I don’t get a fruit scent on my skin as others have decried.
I easily get 12+ hours on my skin with great projection.
Bottom line: If you like Montale Paris or Leather scents like Tuscan Leather and Golden Boy, you should try this one. If you are looking for a strong Oud, there are other fragrances you should look at.
Degrodat – :
Smells cold to me, like a dance floor smoked up with dry ice, sweet, leathery, and deeply unfriendly and somewhat synthetic. One could call it raw and masculine, but it is missing the unwashed musky warmth of raw masculinity. This is more like driving in a new Ferrari alone at night, wondering why that does not make life any more joyful. But I am old-fashioned.
Adriano57 – :
I feel like I’ve come a long way when it comes to honing my taste and appreciation of fragrance, but Aoud Leather resists any intelligent description by me:
“OMG ITS SO GOOOOD!!!1”
That’s my final verdict and I’m sticking to it.
(Also it’s better than that other one by Mr. Ford, more supple and `rounder`, lasts longer too)
Alexsbk1991 – :
A very fresh & clean leather scent with almost spring/summery vibe in it….{{i don’t know if it works in summer tho}
It has a very strong projection and very good longevity with just 3 full sprays{at least the bottle i own}
alexssumin – :
This is between Tuscan leather and Black Saffron. It is smoky like Tuscan leather but not as much sour, that sourness that simulate the smell of old leather; better to me. It is also sweeter.
SASHA3967 – :
One of the best Montale’s by far (for my age 24). Very nice made leather fruity sweet scent. It’s similar to Tuscan Leather, but better in my opinion. Has a unisex vibe in it (so it’s good for the ladies too). I recommend it more for the clubbing/nights out.
YOU CAN’T GO WRONG WITH THIS MONTALE!
Hacker013 – :
This is anything but long lasting. Lasted about 30 min and its not my nose either. I do a longevity test with all my frags where I spray on a piece of cloth and every now and then I would walk into the room and sense the smell. There are perfumes that are very sneaky that I don’t smell it on myself but when I do this test, they would remain for hours and hours. Leather Aoud is not one of them.
glx1 – :
Not quite Tuscan leather. Yes, very similar, especially the opening. To me major differences: Fruity note and texture. I found this to be more sharp (i.e. burns my nose) on initial sniff. I also found the fruity note to be more pronounced than the raspberry note in TFTL. I thought longevity and sillage were poor for me, however, late in the day at work colleagues were still complementing. So, I don’t get to enjoy as long as TFTL, but everyone around me does! I recommend this to anyone who owns TFTL. Different enough to enjoy, similar enough to be a less risky blind buy.
ciiuhmvltbs – :
sorry Montale…I had to wash it off from my wrist, it is terrible syntethic leather, I can not stand…
Arseniy – :
One of the best leather frags ever. wonderful nuanced combination of leather, oud and saffron notes with hints of citrus. Great projection and longevity like most Montales, 2 sprays to the chest easily lasts 8 hours plus. I love Tuscan leather but I personally prefer the saffron and leather combo a bit more to the raspberry and leather combo, seems more of a natural fit. This is right up there with my favorite leathers, TL, ADP Colonia leather, Dueto Golden Boy, and PDM Godolphin but from a price to performance ratio, beats them all hands down. If you are on a tight budget, this is the one to get. you can pick up a tester online for about 50$ and the bottle will last you a long time as you need very little of this juice to last all day. Just fantastic. love it all the way. 9/10
PS
There is a slight difference between the Montale Paris and International versions. The international version has a stronger, sweeter, raspberry like note in the opening which the Paris version does not. After half an hour, they are similar although I think the saffron note in the Paris version is a bit more pronounced as well. They were both wafting off me strongly even after 8 hours with 2 sprays so longevity is not an issue. Either one is worth getting.
Budar – :

After testing countless Montale “Paris” fragrances at a speciality Fragrance store in Beverly Hills, I bit the bullet on the 3.4 ounce of the Oud Leather. I am so happy I did. Very masculine, and powerful scent. Lasts FOREVER on my skin. It’s been 8 hours and it still smells strong on me. I’ve gotten 2 compliments the first day I purchased it as well.
Very happy right now I chose this. It was a close tie between OUD MUSK,RED OUD AND OUD Leather. I went ahead and chose OUD Leather and am very happy about my choice. I wonder what my next Montale fragrance will be. I’m a big fan! Happy!
Andersen11 – :
Fine leather, like a new pair of gloves (NOT the horse-saddle-like smell). I love it and I hardly can wait to feel it on my husband’s skin. I perceive it more like a men perfume.
I really think is one of the best perfumes I ever met.
paxygaica – :
Genvy is actually quite right in what he said, I have experienced the same and had an incident with probably the same seller as well. While the scent is similar to Tuscan Leather at first, it soon strays a little from that path into something more spicy. But as Genvy noted, the Montale International Design version loses it’s moderately strong projection within about 2 hours.

DIABLO18 – :
Quite bright and sweet at the start. Sweet and spicy, not fruity. The leather is smoky and dry, similar to the one in TF Tuscan Leather, Acqua di Parma Leather and YSL Noble Leather. To me, Aoud Leather has two phases: the first 8-10 hours when it’s a sweet leathery combination and the next 10-12 hours when it’s a sweet woody spicy skin scent. In my opinion, if it would have stopped after the leather fades, it would have been better. The projection is medium, but the longevity is beastly. Overall it’s nice, somehow in between the three mentioned above which are far better than Montale’s offering. I’d say it’s unisex; too sweet to be masculine and too leathery to be feminine.

Don’t just wonder about this one. It’s awesome juice! All the other reviews say how it’s like Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather is true. This stuff is magical and alluring. Do what it takes to get a sample, however I would warn you that you might rnd up buying some. It’s addicting, very. I’ve tried Clive Christian “C”… It’s closer to that fragrance to me than Tuscan leather. So, here you have a high quality “leather” fragrance at a fraction of the costs than two well done expensive leathers, really, it’s an easy decision. I tried this and Clive C one on each wrist and there is not a huge departure from one ore the other. Even in dry down they stay very close. Yeah, I bought a bottle and that “guilt free”! ;-D
Update:
Longevity is a beast. I put two spritzes on in the morning and 15 hrs later I showered and it is still lingering a bit. Really, Montale fragrances are strong and long lasting overall. This one always chimes in to me clearly as a winner in the leather category. This stuff never gets old. I love it !

وقتی از نزدیک عطر رو بو میکنی عمق وجودت رو خاکستر میکنه
واقعیتش تو این لحظه حس و حال یه مرد تنها که یکدست سیاهپوشه رو بهم منتقل میکنه
بعد از مدتی هم زعفران و لیمو با روایح قبلی ترکیب شده
و از اینجا به بعد ، عطر دودی ، تلخ و کمی ترش خواهد بود
وتا پایان عمرش هم همین وضعیت رو حفظ میکنه
یکی از ویژگی ها بارز این عطر ماندگاری و پخش فوقالعاده این عطره یعنی محاله به یک مجلس و محیطی وارد بشی و عطرت تمام روایح رو در حس تاریک و قدرت خودت محو نکنه
با این عطر احساس قدرت خواهید کرد
خاص عمیق تاریک

Like for how long will this stay on my clothes with a beast projection?

Far better than Tuscan Leather in terms of longevity, projection and also smell.

Personaly this was waaay too feminine, in a vintage way also. But if you like your leather scent nice and gentle try it. I dont.

this is wilsons leather in a bottle whoa.

Yes, very much like Tuscan Leather. Opening is a little off, but the rest of the fragrance is basically the same. No raspberry, no thyme, no suede, but super super close.
IMPORTANT: Make sure you get the Montale Parfums version. The Montale International Design version is dramatically weaker, and
