Description
“Riding on the success of the first Night Veils collection dedicated to heady flowers that bloom come nightfall, a new variation of elixirs is about to dawn. Housed in 30 ml onyx glass bottles, the three new compositions draw inspiration from the craft of leatherworking. So precious are these extracts, a mere drop deposited at the nape of the neck with the glass stopper is enough to diffuse their scent for hours on end. This new trio of night veils pays tribute to the delicate hand of the glovemaker, the fine skill of the bootmaker and the genius of the saddler. La Botte –
the ultimate expression of luxury, the bootmaker continues the fine tradition of custom-made footwear to this day. The workshop evokes the smell of new boots still nestled in their box, freshly buffed leather, the patinated wood shoe trees arranged by size on the shelves and the sound of heels click-clacking down the sidewalk.” – a note from the brand.
La Botte by Byredo is a Leather fragrance for women and men. This is a new fragrance. La Botte was launched in 2016. Top note is jasmine; middle notes are violet and synthetic civet; base notes are mahogany and leather.

HARD CORE leather. No spice. No smoke. Just “lean” leather, with shapeless floral element (not a note).
At the very beginning, it has something strongly reminiscent of that rubber-glue scent of new boots. Chloroprene, to be precise. Then comes that “stoic” leather: there is nothing soft about it; it’s as serious as those boots wore by Queen’s Guard.It’s accompanied by above mentioned floral elements.
In fact, no, not accompanied. This type of leather refuse companionship, like a silent, eccentric guest on a party, who shows absolutely no interest in conducting conversations. The floral floats somewhat aimlessly on top, barely touch the leather base.

A leathery sleek and discreet perfume named as a tribute to a shoe maker, La Botte is an interesting but frightfully overpriced offering from eclectic Byredo. The perfume begins with a faint jasmine and proceeds to a floral animalic heart comprised of violet and civet. Finally it settles into a woody leathery base of mahogany and leather. The overall feeling is of a sophisticated lady wearing a leather coat or boots. Unisex with moderate sillage and good longevity. Given the super premium price it retails for, only recommended for die hard Byredo fans. Enjoy!

The ideia in here is very similiar to Jasmin & Cigarettes by Eldo. But yes, it is a better job. The violet note (ionona) makes all the difference.

This scent is absolutely phenomenal! Wearing this fragrance gives me the feeling of walking into a room and owning it!! This is truely one of a kind.

I really love this scent. My first impression was strong leather and violet, with a touch of tobacco.
After a couple of hours, I was left with a fruity, woody violet. I have really enjoyed what it’s done with my particular chemistry. Very long lasting, too.

It’s Jasmin & Cigarettes by Eldo. A jasmine leather with facets of cold tobacco, like smoker’s fingers.
PomManiol – :
Jasmine and brutal leather. Monster sillage and longevity, although it´s absolutely linear on me – no development. Definitely money well spent if you´re into it – two drops will keep you going for 24 hours easy.
A confidence-boosting scent.

The first wearing left me struggling to get past the strong opening of jasmine, civet, and violet. The drydown is f’n amazing though. Now after a few wearings it’s simply outstanding from start to finish and the finish is long long after the start. Great stuff.

Quite TomFord-esque, but more balanced and realistic, very smooth and pleasant; better than Tuscan Leather itself and most of the copies, but the price though..

Animalic ski-wax – linearly so, no change . Can’t say it’s bad – its just too industrial – not my cup of tea.
