Simply put…EXCELLENT! If you’re expecting it to smell like your normal harsh leather fragrance this is not for you. It’s like wearing a suede jacket that is still holding your previous scents of light florals and sweet Saffron and a touch of left over Oud. Definitely not a heavy projecting scent but by no means a skin scent. I feel in love with it upon first sniff. Leather Up dueled with its brother Obscure Oud for my attention and inevitable purchase. I chose Leather Up! Only because of my many Oud scents in my collection and my wife’s eeny meeny miny mo tie breaker. And judging from my crowds response (my close friends and family at dinner) the compliments continued the whole night. Everyone continually sniffed me to make sure the wonderful scent that was wafting in the air was actually coming from me and not a room scent of the fancy restaurant we were dining. The quotes were “DAMN YOU SMELL GOOD!” “OH WOW THAT’S NOT YOUR NORMAL COLOGNE!” And “LET ME SNIFF YOU AGAIN!” So to put the rap on this review it’s definitely a crowd pleaser that’s mysterious and alluring. Not a loud bullying fragrance that you smell coming. And definitely not a docile shy run of the mill scent you don’t pay attention to. It’s the casual unassuming attractive calm scent that confidently enters the room and says “Hey…”

I was recently given this to test while at Barneys.
First impressions: The fragrance tries to hard to be everything in hopes of pleasing everyone, and it ends up being rather a let down. The opening notes can’t decide whether to hint at the upcoming complexity and depth of the heart & base, so it skews toward being light and sharp. The one note that is too bombastic was the whiskey accord. It’s really difficult to get past smelling like you’ve had a glass of Dewars thrown at you, and that’s precisely how this felt. No hint of leather at all.
Remaining impressions: Where’s the leather? The title suggests it should be prominent, but I still smell like liquor. Everything else is so muddled that as to become indistinguishable. It just hints at being ‘something’ but lacks that signature note because the leather and suede that are allegedly there are drowned out by everything else. Toward the end, the Oud peeks through and it’s also an anti-climax because it’s just ‘in-there somewhere’ and not very highlighted. Leaves with the impression of “another fragrance that had to jump on the Oud bandwagon and hasn’t done a decent job of it”.
At the end of it, the only thing that makes this an unforgettable experience is how poor the execution was. For all the good notes and great promise the description holds, it’s astounding how it doesn’t even merit mediocrity.
tl;dr version: A hot mess with an identity crisis. Unforgettable for all the wrong reasons.
