I just love this fragrance and the way it performs.Leather and Rasberry goodness,with 1Ohrs on skin.
SamSem – :
Okey guys its me again.I need to tell you something.
I have acquired bottle of this and I have been experimenting with it.It really makes me believe this is the reason why there is so many mixed reviews about it.Some people love it some hate it.
Here is the thing.No matter what I was doing I could not get it to smell as divine as on a third day when I wore this based on my review few posts below.
As someone else mentioned.The distance from which you spray it is absolutely crucial with this.ABSOLUTELY!!! If I spray it upclose ,then no matter what, all I get is this ashy, sour, harsh mess.Which changes very little if at all.
However if I increase the distance to about 30cm ,just enough to be in a range of misty, cloud, I almost completely bypass the top and transition straight to sweet, almost rose like leathery mid.No harshness at all.
I also found out about it when I sprayed it on my skin up close ,and the best scent I found was actually on the outer edges of the cloud.The middle was repulsive.It seems as La Yuqawam has to be spread evenly, like old fashioned perfume ,like a cloud rather than concentrated in one spot. Guys please try it.Use no less then foot away distance.
I really wanted to sell my bottle but decided to keep it because of this.The juice is strong so even from further away I know I can apply 2,3 sprays and it will be still very potent:)

@anita.rodriguez.villanueva.pacheco, as much as i loooooove this on my husband, i do NOT want to smell like this. As one of the previous reviewers said, this is an Alpha male fragrance. For me, it’s along the lines off Gucci Guilty Absolute, only men with balls can pull this off. This is in no shape or form unisex. There is Femme version though, but i didn’t get chance to put my hands on it. I think Femme version is a clone of TF Black orchid?

As TF Private Blend Collection are for Unisex, can women also wear La Yuqawam por Homme ?

Miles ahead of tuscan leather, this thing is a champ in it’s own league.
Beastly performance.

An alpha male scent for when you are in ‘that’ mood. You will be noticed, you will stand out…you will prevail. Longevity is measured in days…not hours. I really like this but let it dry down a bit before mingling. Have fun!
Suemundulse – :
Ok where to begin.I recently bought a sample of this fragrance and applied 6 sprays.I thought…first time I may as well go wild with it.Big mistake!!!
All I could smell was intensely strong synthetic, harsh leather with tiny bit of raspberry which didnt seam to develop at all all the way to the drydown.It gradually was just losing intensity but no other notes at all.I thought…what is up with all these people liking it, claiming it smells divine.Its unbearable.
2 days later in the morning before work Ive put 3 sprays just to be on a safe side from 10 inches away and went to work.
I did not expect what happened next at all.
As I was working I started sniffing, slowly creeping in pure luxury.Smooth,creamy perfectly balanced leather with just perfect amount of delicious sweetness coming from berries.Then lovely slightly dark,mysterious smoke, creating warm, sensual aura around me.Its a smoke that reminded me of when I was younger and went to a techno club.They used artificial smoke to enhance atmosphere in the club and boost lights, lasers etc.Its that sort of smoke.Literally I had a flashback in my memory as soon as I smelt it:)
Ocassionaly I got some florals as well but its very difficult to pin point what exactly I was smelling.
2 hours later amber kicked in.Liquid smooth, warm, sweet, with just a touch of spicyness.It reminded me of the best amber Ive ever smelled.Armani Ambre Orient.Every accord could be a seperate fragrance in their own right.
The whole concoction became deep, complex , and very rich in notes.Every few minutes I was smelling something different.
Nothing was linear though.All the notes were coming in and out without any particular order.Throughout whole experience La Yuqawam reminded me of Oud Wood,Plum Japonais,Ambre Orient and Jubilation XXV.The sample was from April 2018 bottle.I can still smell it 12 hours later.I would say after 4 hours it started becoming skin scent.I just ordered a bottle from September 2016 which after doing some research led me to believe was even better and had enormous projection and longevity.
Quality of the ingredients and overall scent is absolutely highest class.If you told me the bottle cost 200 dollars I would probably believe.Its that good.I honestly didnt think such cheap fragrance can give me a sense of being a sultan on throne:)I have no idea why first attempt was such a failure.Maybe I was simply overwhelmed by the amount of juice on me.I dont know.All I know is the bottle is on its way and I cant way.I think it will put my vintage Jubilation XXV to rest for a while:)

“I have no kids, but my name is Daddy” in a bottle
Kaktoos – :
Watch out with this fragrance, because if you spray it from too close of a distance, it will be unbearable. It will kill everyone around you, no joke. But if you spray it from a good 20-25cm (10 inches), it will be divine, the raspberry will come out and make the fragrance so much more wearable… I’m serious, try it, like two completely different fragrances.
rastomani – :
Pretty potent, the strident raspberry opening is slightly uncouth, the fine suede heart of the fragrance is very well done. The underlying white floral DNA can be revealed from time to time as a sort of fabric conditioner note, usually half an hour or so after application and most noticeable whilst outside on the street. Lacks some of the depth and all of the complexity of TFTL. You wouldn’t kick it out of bed for farting though…
ctrl – :
Not a review, just a handy hint for bargain hunters:
Buy Cuir Iris L’Atelier des Bois de Grasse. It is 1/10th of the price (literally) and practically identical.
I have both and only reach for La Yuqawam when I am looking for better silage and longevity (also, it is a tad deeper).
I have had friends who have (repeatedly) asked if I am wearing this when actually I am wearing Cuir Iris.
I dont regret buying it, but wont repurchase.
Агата – :
@Bond James’s Bond check your bottle maybe you bought the Rasasi Tobacco Blaze by mistake.. bottle looks the same and it’s still a fruity leather scent..
mar450 – :
Out of curiosity, I ordered a 10ml sample of this from ebay. Before I even opened the envelope I smelled strong pipe tobacco. It smells like the sweet pipe tobacco but very potent and overpowering. I will need to try this out on my day off.
Maybe my sniffer is going bad but, I’m really not getting where anyone is picking up a leather note or even a wood note for that matter. All I’m getting is pure pipe tobacco. But I do like it kind of. Not sure if anyone else around me will like it if I were to wear this out.
irisha-7 – :
The opening of this one makes me think of Escada Magnetism for men mixed with Tom Ford Tuscan Leather. The final drydown is much closer to the TL, but yet it retains some of the powdery elements of Magnetism. I’m stunned by this fragrance!
AlobiaobliB – :
This is a great clone to the legendary TF Tuscan Leather. It’s a great fragrance by itself. However, I’d like to point out that if you’re looking for something complex and slow-unfolding then stick to the Original TF Tuscan Leather.
The dry-down on TL is an absolute gem. It’s slow, subtle and eternal. You’ll well be able to get whiff of it even 8-10 hours later. However Rasasi LYPH is a rather simpler and liner. It unfolds like TL but much faster. It dies faster on skin.
Try it but don’t expect it to replace TL, cuz that’s not going to happen.
icecube92 – :
La yuqawam Pour Homme! Here you go!
Presentation: it comes I real woody cube box. Two equal cubes sets together with for little magnets. So box is magnetic . Bottle is not glass it’s ceramic. Sprayer is not best. Cap is woods by plastic inside to make it feet tightly on sprayer.
Scent: opening I get heavy kind of smoke like burning dry leave in fall or hash plus raspberry… my girlfriend thought I smoked at home but it was la yuqawam!!! I couldn’t get that saffron or others… in 20 minuets leathery notes can be filled and doesn’t change till finish! But when it turns to skin scent raspberry is more noticeable and looks like you put hand cream.
Performance 10/10
At last I should say it is not a blind buy or safe scent! But way easier than Tuscan leather by Tom Ford!
avukasava – :
I owned Tom Ford Tuscan Leather two winters in a row. It’s one of my favourite fragrance for the cold season, but this year I found out that you can use it also during summer nights, gives you good vibes. Back to Rasasi, this one is the closest thing you will find to TL. So close. It’s not identical, but no one will tell the difference if they smell it on you. Nice packaging, magnetic wooden cap and ceramic bottle, so heavy. Great frag, not cheap but I would go all the way with Rasasi comparing it to TL prices. The juice is very oily, huge projection and longevity. Worthed!
Onlyspam – :
Some people are confused by the notes i think.
Notes description from Rasasi’s website:
Top: Rose, Geranium and Blue flowers
Middle: Yemen Olibanum,French Jasmine
Base: Italian Leather, Indian Agarwood, Amber

i love this scent
Orencerog – :
This is just gorgeous. I blind bought it, but couldn’t be happier with it. To me it is all leather and ashy tobacco. Very manly. I must admit, I can’t smell the raspberry, I don’t understand how that can be a major note. Thyme, incense, amber, sure. But mostly it is all leather. It lasts really long. It is great to still smell it when I wake up the next day
vanek2010 – :
One scent that gives me instant headache are middle eastern perfumes. They are really strong and the scent lingers for hours. La Yuqawam is a blind buy after reading numerous positive reviews. I know very well that it is made by a company or house based in the middle east but I presumed that it won’t have the same strength or DNA of middle eastern perfumes. But I quickly regret buying it after I sniffed the nozzle. It is practically the same middle eastern fragrance I despise. A lot of collectors really love this fragrance but I would never, ever wear it.
rasayana108 – :
Presentation:
La yuqawam comes inside a wooden box with a magnetic top that looks really nice and unusual.The glass bottle is very thick and has an air of luxury.
The scent:
The scent is very,very unusual.its is unlikely the majority of the people you know has smelled anything like this.
The scent starts with a blast of in your face tobacco, almost like an ashtray,and can be generally perceived as negative by non-smokers.After a couple of minutes, it changes to a smell that is DIVINE! raspberry and leather all over, with a lot of sweet notes that give out a very manly,masculine smell that is perfect for serious men, preferably with a suit or a shirt.This is definitely a cold weather perfume and it can become overwhelming in the summer if you spray more than once!
The reactions:
Women over 30 love this! most rated it as 9/10,10/10 and one even 11/10(!)
Some younger female friends of mine (23) rated it as 8/10 so i guess its appeal changes with age because it gives out a very mature feel.Definitely not a ‘grandpa’ perfume though!
My ratings:
Scent 5.0/5.0
Duration 5.0/50
Sillage 4.5/5.0
Wearability 3.5/50
I absolutely love this!
referas – :
Rich and leathery. This is a very nice scent. Very manly. My GF doesn’t like it but I do. Very good sillage and longevity too. Not cheap, but not as expensive as TF Tuscan Leather.
Fintik-XXX – :
Finally ordered this and I am very happy with this masculine dupe of Tuscan Leather. The hype is real. I blind bought this and I couldn’t be happier. This smells very close to TL yet seems to have it’s own personality. Performance is very good in terms of sillage and longevity. This is definitely a smell of leather. It has a the smell of leather seats in a new car for those of you wondering of the scent profile. I recommend.
besfamilnyi – :
@rola.asad – I would agree with you, especially after sweating heavily, or in the final stages of the drydown, La Yuqawam is quite a bit more feminine due to the decreased presence of resins and increased levels of jasmine and raspberry. But, La Yuqawam also has a noticeable tobacco/cigarette ash note that I think some women will find off-putting, so really, it’s up the the preferences of the wearer.
messmusty – :
@TonyAkamMrClean
Do you think “La yukawam” is more on the feminine side?
So that’s the reason why I prefer La yukawam over TF Tuscan Leather!
cthutq rr – :
Im currently on an extreme budget and considered selling my bottle of Tuscan Leather, so I brought out my 10ml decant of La Yuqawam to give it another chance today…
The best Tuscan Leather clone?
Not exactly. If you don’t wear Tuscan Leather often, this will work perfectly as a replacement, but if your absolute favorite scent is Tuscan Leather, it may not be good enough to take its place because some of the notes are using different ingredients. The raspberry, for one, is notably different. I found the ingredients in Nabeel Macho Man and Arab Tradition more accurately match those in Tuscan Leather, however La Yuqawam does indeed match the smokiness of Tuscan Leather more.
Furthermore, the price is $60 for 2.5oz which translates to .80/ml, which is still rather high in my collection. Nabeel Macho Man is still the value and scent leader for me personally, in terms of most accurately matching the scent of Tuscan Leather, and it costs about $13 for 6 of the 6ml roll-ons which translates to about .36/ml, and it’s an oil, meaning you’ll use a LOT less, bringing the cost down to mere pennies per wear. Only downside is, it’s an oil, and again, it’s missing the smokiness. If you love the smokiness, La Yuqawam is the alternative for you. If you love the clean leather and the exact ingredients used in Tuscan Leather and you’re willing to sacrifice the smokiness, then go for one of the Nabeel scents.
Just my two cents. As hard as I am on La Yuqawam, I really don’t mean to be. I think it’s a great scent and for most, this will serve perfectly as a replacement. Plus the bottle and presentation are both top-notch. (For the record, I actually DID sell my Tuscan Leather and purchased a bottle of La Yuqawam and a 15ml decant of Tuscan Leather for special occasions, and I still came out $100 ahead, but I also have the Nabeel clones and wear them on different occasions)
VOLFTOR – :
Finally got my hands on 10ml of this to try.
It immediately smells like Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, but with a more prominent raspberry, more tart than sweet. Performance is amazing, but sillage and projection aren’t as great as TL. In fact TL lasts for like a week on my skin, La Yuq was almost gone after 10 or 12 hours.
The neat thing about this, is that the projected scent gets CLEAN SMELLING with time. As i was wearing this, a couple hours in, I was smelling a sort of fabric softener aroma but it was subtle.
I’m really impressed, especially given the price. For me personally, this doesn’t totally replace TL, but it can fill-in once in a while. TL has subtle nuances that set it apart, and performance is nuclear. Given that, i do find La Yuq to be generally more wearable than TL. This gets an easy 8.5 out of 10.
MaRZoCHi – :
Excellent perfume based on leather. Perfect for cold nights. Good longevity on my skin. I do not know Tuscan Leather Tom Ford, but La Yuqawam Homme is very close to Godolphin Parfums de Marly for men. Try before you buy. Beautiful work Rasasi. Affirmative! Affirmative!
Gurucom – :
Reporting on Jan 2018 batch
Longevity is still superb, first 2 hours of invasive sillage, then 10 more hours of light projection. Can’t say whether the scent has changed or not though
werwolf5011 – :
It has already been said a million times and yesterday i Found out for myself…i Sampled TL ….it’s very very close to my la yuqawam…but thé raspberry note in la yuqawam is indeed more prominent…one of the strangest scents i own…i love it…when it’s Cold outside…winter-scent for me…TL or LY ? TL is more smokey. LY is more fruity incense..but very simular…i would pick LY because pricewise…it’s way cheaper than TL…thé subtle difference in scent doesn’t make up for thé 300 euro/dollar you need to Pay more for TL… nevertheless both are unique !
vyw150Negeltzex – :
I have bottle of TL and apart from the smell that is amazing , the performance on me is average it stays close to the skin after 1 hour and it lasts arround 8 hours (I am not saying this is bad, but I like it more strong, my skin is problematic holding fragrances) . I tried something to give me the same smell of TL but with better performance in my skin. I have some Rasasi fragrances and normaly you cant go wrong with them. What I can say is that La Yuqawam is 96% close to TL and this one screams performance in my skin, not beastly, but close to it. What I do is to apply one or two sprays of the TL and two or three sprays of the Rasasi and I am ready to go. I enjoy both of them together, both are amazing fragrances and TL was the first one and in that case the King.
dushiki – :
Arrived today. My initial impression is that it smells ridiculously close to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather (a favorite in my collection). My coworkers who are all enthralled by Tuscan Leather also feel like it smells virtually the same. I will test both for performance, and try to distill whatever minute differences exist between them.
UPDATE:
I think Tuscan Leather has an edge with the smoky “wet” leather vibe, and La Yuqawam has a more notable “tart” raspberry. The differences are nuanced yet discernible. I have to tell you all straight up that both coworkers who smelled them in a blind test picked La Yuqawam and remarked that it was because it smelled stronger to them. Both of these options have great performance in my experience, and I think the more sharp raspberry in La Yuqawam lends to its sillage. I personally think Tuscan Leather is a champion, and worth the money…however it’s definitely in the territory of diminishing returns when you consider this gem from Rasasi instead. I will love wearing this whenever I please, and reserving the Tom Ford for more special occasions!
Rio2011 – :
I bling bought this fragrance because of the hype it was creating back then. I am lucky that i bought this and the hype was 100% real. This fragrance is a heavy hitter and the longevity is also pretty awesome. and the blend is very smooth and the combination of leather and raspberry is great and very unique. It will make you feel special. It is the best clone of TF TL IMO. And the most important fact is that the quality of the juice is simply great whereas the price is almost one fourth of the original TF TL. The presentation is also very nice. It comes with a nice wooden box. I have both La Yuqawam and TF TL and done side by side comparison. Both fragrances share similar notes but in La Yuqawam there is a added raspberry note which makes it more soothing and more wearable in a warm weather dominant countries.
msc664JeomiWogkig – :
Nice blind buy. I think quality ingredients were used.
From the start I sniff strong, smooth leather (with dark chocolate bitter + cigarette tobacco tones for my nose), and strong thyme with little bit of dried raspberry. After some hours is raspberry note more intensive, together with nice olibanum with sweet (amber)- woody base.
It’s long lasting with moderate sillage for 2-3 hours (but maybe is my nose paralysed, I don’t know), than it’s close to skin for me. Better sillage is on cloth.
I wear LY, even trouhg I’m woman, maybe because dark chocolate tones in this perfume. 🙂
kamil – :
This stuff is amazing. It has similarities to TL and Godolphin but it’s in a category of it’s own. So different, yet pleasant to my nose. Also, it helps that women love it. Beware, it lasts FOREVER (on my skin at least). Overall, worth every dollar.
maxikys2011 – :
@klix27, It seems you have got the flanker of La-yuqawom Pour Homme which is “La-yuqawom Tobacco Blaze”.
The one right here is the orignal La-Yuqawom Pour Homme which came out in 2012 while the Tobacco Blaze was launched in 2013.
Kefir – :
love this perfume so much. My friend bought this for me in Saudi. I saw the price tag on the box , 265SR.
The tobacco (smells exactly pure tobacco, not cigarette) is dominant here which mixed well with woody notes. not too oudy, i guess some other arabic perfumes have more prominent oud and quite annoying. this one is not. Everything in control.
i found it tolerable for office wear and gentleman too. Not that overpowering nor too loud. You will surely like the smell over time as it dries down. Very pleasant.
Very long lasting but however sillage is moderate. I dont know if people around me can smell it from afar. Projection is mild though could be better. Recommended for men.
Something i dislike is, the size is 75ml, why not 100ml instead?
balleroucess – :
In this arena of leather and fruit. From the ones I’ve tried and own. Godolphin wins by a landslide. I own this frag alone with macho man, and Godolphin. I just can’t believe people having a hard time telling the difference between these. Godolphin the only one with that wow factor for me . It’s like this with me. I compare
“I will always love you,” by Dolly Pardon= La Yuqawam,& Tuscan Leather.
“I will always love you.” by Whitney Houston = Godolphin & macho man.
Dolly the first to make that hit, But Whitney came along and made that hit better.
coardorry – :
I ended up buying this after I tried my sample. There are very few colognes that make me go WOW when I first smell them. Terre de Hermes and CDNIM type scents if you catch my drift. I pulled the trigger on this and got it off ebay for $70 even. Great looking box and bottle. But even better smell. It is one of the most unique fragrances I own and I think I can end my cologne journey with this one. The temp is in the 50’s and 60’s range, with some wind, which makes this thing evolve into something I haven’t smelled since I started collecting colognes. This is easily in my top 3 with the Dior hommes and terre de Hermes.
sherif_911 – :
Guys an updated review.
This stuff is really BEAST mode, the projection is such that after one or two hours you think that it’s gone, instead your nose becomes so used to it that you wont be able to smell anything else.
The sillage is enormous, yesterday i was told by my friends that your perfume has filled up the whole room.
Go light on the trigger!
Vitaluwka – :
I have a sample on its way and should be delivered today. I will update as soon as I get home!!
Strong smelling stuff! If you are going to be indoors then I would not go above 1 spray max. As for the smell, it smells AMAZING. High quality. Has a dirty smoky vibe that blends very well together. I will be buying this scent soon!

Andreyderka – :
Think Tuscan Leather (obviously it is a clone), but more refined, crispier, with a more prominent raspberry note. Longevity is out of this world.
Angessive – :
Like the reviewer below I am also not anything like a “nose”. However, even to me it’s clear this is different to Tuscan Leather – in 100% a good way. The raspberry is more pronounced making it almost fresher and certainly more rounded. The leather is smoother versus the harsh, in your face leather you get from TL. This is so much more wearable, to the extent that I would be comfortable wearing it to work – albeit only in colder months and no more than 2 sprays. I have no idea to what occasion I’d wear Tuscan leather???
So, whilst La Yuqawam doesn’t quite do it for me as a clone of TL it’s not really an issues as I feel it’s a superior fragrance. And that’s before we even get into the price difference…
Well done Rasasi.
serzh.goman – :
This is pure madness. Best blind buy in my life.
Just got it delivered. This thing RADIATES from my wrist. Believe the hype, this product exceeds the advertised value.
I am not in any way a “nose”, but what I can smell from a consumer stand point is:
– almost intense raspberry
– heavy heavy smokey leather
– maybe some slight hint of tobacco, but this is only my mind
Huge and powerful projection, I even cough from time to time while sitting at my desk (I hope this doesn’t cause any allergies).
The packaging looks like something that might get called a “tesseract” in a sci-fi movie.
Bottom line:
This smells expensive, elegant, masculine and most importantly complete. It is strong and projects from a far.
I do not see this as a unisex fragrance, in my opinion it is a bit harsh for a female fragrance.
igogocha – :
I’ve never smelt TL Tuscan Leather, so no comparisons here.
Upon intital spray it’s quite strong, quite medicinal to my nose, but in a few minutes it melows down and the true scent starts to come out.
It’s a leathery scent with a woodsy backbone. What about the raspberry? Smelling it up close and personal I really don’t get any, my senses are assaulted by leather and woods. Let the scent bubble develop around you and bam! Hello raspberry! I love this touch, giving it a nice sweet tone, the leather ensuring it’s never cloying, and the raspberry ensuring the leather is never overbearing. Awesome combo!
Don’t judge it by sniffing up close, let it dry down and let the scent bubble develop. It’s magic will come!

grafomag – :
i absolutely adore how they emphatize or even nearly over-emphatize the raspberry on this one. it makes it cooler than tuscan leather and totally blows acqua di parma’s leather out of water. it is that good. too bad that outside the arabic world it seem to have close to zero marketing and distribution, but if you have stop over in dubai, that is the one to get a few bottles of. hands down masterpiece.
13werty23 – :
La Yuqawam is sexy and seductive. It’s manly yet sensitive. It’s an alpha male that’s in touch with his feminine side.
I wouldn’t say it’s as close to Tuscan Leather as people describe it, because let’s be real: How can it smell 95+% like TL when it’s being described as “more wearable” “more suede than leather” and “having more prominent raspberry”?
It does go in the direction of TL, but it’s more sporty. Tuscan Leather would be more of a suit fragrance, while La Yuqawam can be pulled off more casually. La Yuqawam is a seductive attention grabber, while Tuscan Leather is all that AND a statement.
Either way, it’s totally worth the money, cause it lasts a long time; About 5 – 6 hours of projection and stays on skin for 10 – 12 hours. It stays on clothes forever as well and people around me seem to love it.
I think it has potential to layer it with something spicy. I don’t have a big enough arsenal to try something, but I would appreciate it if someone would try it and let us know about the results.
Let’s talk cocaine. I have never smelt cocaine, but I like the subliminal vibe of petroleum in this fragrance that is felt in the first hour. Perhaps that’s it.
It’s signature scent worthy and highly recommended.
That’s it from me, thanks for reading.
Engettided – :
Reminds me of Montale Aoud Leather. If this is what TF TL smells like, I wouldn’t give 1 dollar for it. Also there is something that reminds me of Versace man.
Who likes these types of scent, he/she will be satisfied.
levit1960 – :
Absolutely incredible. I sampled Tuscan leather and then blind bought this. Rasasi is a bit sweeter, not as smoky or ashy as Tuscan leather, but it is so incredibly close. I bought a full bottle for 58 bucks with shipping sealed, you cannot beat that.
For those who have not smelt either, its a simple formula: Raspberry and saffron meet luxury leather interior of a new car or leather jacket. Animatic leather fused with raspberry in a masterful blend. This is an alpha, signature scent. Very masculine, strong projection and longevity. Rasasi is sweeter and more wearable to the casual fragrance wearer. I will probably buy a nice sized decant of Tuscan leather too, but i can easily justify not doing so because of HOW GOOD la yaquam is. Blind buy worthy because youll be able to sell it in seconds if its not your flavor.
Masterpiece. The ONE clone i have found where the student may have surpassed the teacher.
piwchic – :
On the initial blast I get this smokey leather with a synthetic sweet raspberry that last throughout this fragrance. Then I get suede and raspberry in the drydown. The rest of the notes I don’t detect in here. This is a leather fragrance for me with an everlasting top note. Just Amazing stuff.
This scent is for the experience nose. I don’t think everyone will take to this fragrance. This fragrance is for the sophisticated gentleman with style. This is a gorgeous scent.
Projection 6ft
Sillage good
