Description
Leder 6 previously known as Fetisch by J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin is a leather fragrance for women and men. “Sin City, Berlin ‐ Leather is a fetish ‐ a fetish is a magical object or an object of desire. The Berlin fetish scene was inspiration for Leder 6 (Leather 6). The new creation of J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin combines the heritage of perfume history with inspirations from modern Berlin in a breath taking composition.
Leder 6 is a vintage Schwarzlose fragrance “Spanisch Leder” (spanish leather) reinterpreted in a modern, oriental, leathery composition with an addictive signature, created thanks to unique naturals and captives developed by MANE, one of the worldwide leaders in the fragrance industry.
Leather as such has an aura which is exciting, encasing and infamous, like a second skin. The head note recaptures the vintage electrifying scent „Spanisch Leder“ of J.F. Schwarzlose Söhne, invented in the 1920s.
At first glance the head note sets an accord of „Osmanthus Absolute“ free. This is a Chinese flower which vaporates an animalic leather feel. The essence of Saffron flower completes this first experience. The heart note surprises through milk and the warmth of Vanilla created through Jungle Essence TM. The base note is the original Spanisch Leder by J.F. Schwarzlose Söhne created in 1921.
A perfect match of incense essence and Japanese Styrax resinoid gives Leder 6 its uncompromising seductive and addictive character. Associations of the sinful past and present of Berlin are being triggered.” — press release of the brand.
Leder 6 was launched in 2015. The nose behind this fragrance is Véronique Nyberg.

Leder 6 is a very nice leather fragrance. It was inspired by the Berlin fetish scene.
Leather is a fetish and Leder 6 is Sex… in my nose!
Love it!

Leder 6 by J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin is a sexy leather fragrance. No surprise as it was inspired by the Berlin fetish scene. It opens up as really sweet, almost edible leather and saffron scent. As time goes by, it turns milky and gets softer, still having a big leather note. At the base, the smoke of incense adds to composition making it a sexy unisex leather fragrance with impressive staying power and projection. It opened up differently on me and on male skin. I get more sweetness, but not vanilla, rather the sweetness of honey. On male skin it turned smokier. Looking forward to testing the whole line.

I just received my J.F. Schwarzlose sample pack and am wearing Leder 6 while watching the basketball game. Offhand, I find it to be a straight forward, pleasant, light-brown leather scent…but it is not blowing me away – especially for the steep asking price. However, there is something interesting about this fragrance that reminds me of the leather smells I used to detect while spending a Summer’s day at an old, now long gone, amusement park called Boblo Island on the Detroit River. Perhaps it’s the way the leather blends with the notes of milk, incense and osmanthus? I have absolutely no idea what it could be, but I do like it even more for this reason.
Anyway, a sweet honey-vanilla accord is starting to push forward in the transition so update my review accordingly after I see how it performs and evolves on my skin. Update: this fragrance performed decently in that it lasted 8-hours and projected moderately on my skin. Overall, I like this fragrance but not enough to warrant a full bottle purchase. But your mileage may vary.

I get huge leather but soft not harsh. I smell incense and styrax too. I would not have recognized the osmanthus but that sparkles underneath as well. I swear I smell tobacco leaf in the field, not hanging in the barn. I only have a dab sample,so spray might yield more sillage, and it is a skin scent. This is so polite and well balanced.

A beautiful composition. Everything that Valentino Uomo, Dior Homme, Viaggio d’Africa etc wanted to be…this is incredibly well crafted. So delightful and intelligent yet it still has a tiny bit of dirtiness hidden in there. Its grand, effortless, very positive, charming, reassuring and yes, sexy. I get the vibe of leather seats, coffee lingering, sounds of breakfast cutlery, wealth, sunshine, newspaper and well dressed people. The best in its genre!

This is more of a candy delicate sweet vanilla mix rather than leathery fetish! i can sense sweet vanilla and good morning sugar milk, something similar to “Tobacco Vanille” by Tom Ford! or “Tabac Rouge” by Phaedon.
From this picture, and the name of the fragrance, i thought it would be something quite sleazy, something more of a kinky, or even erotic rather than sweet candy! I can’t deny that the colder it goes the slight leathery it become & slight robbery it goes but it remains quite too sweet for fetish in general, & for fetish concept.

I think this one has been actually renamed “Leder 6”; infact, while there is no more “Fetisch” on their official site, this “leder” (leather?) shares the same notes with it.
EDIT: I wrote an e-mail and they confirmed I’m right.

Fetisch is more powdery candy goodness than raw sexy leather bondage fun…it literally smells like a 50s prom rather than an underground dungeon 🙁 I will say that it is quite different from other scents I own or have sampled BUT nothing I would kill to get a hold of or feel the need to call my own. Not signature stuff by any means!

Wearing it now as i write this…
they were so generous to let me try some of their tester at KaDeWe.
I was actually waiting for the big bang when i first sprayed it,….but NO
I understand their idea about Berlin being such a tolerant city in many aspects
( think about the fetish/sex driven club scene here). but i don’t think the guy who wears a leather harness ( see their ads) wears this! cheeky grin 😉
For me it is more something of a 50 shades of gray fetish.
But anyway,…..
I am a sucker for the “light” leather and saffron approach….
well that is what this is all about.
velvety smooth suede/leather and saffron taking a vanilla/osmanthus infused luke warm milk bath. Slightly sweet but in a sugar sprinkled way.
The incense is tugged quite far away in the scent closet but it helps &
gives it this lingering trail and gorgeous aura.
As i bought Cuir X from La Parfumerie Moderne last year, wich for me smells 80% similar, i still think i want this one to join me trough winter.
At the end, nothing shocking, new, or earthmoving, but sometimes you just want a “friend” whom is always nice to hang out with.
Meet your new “friend” : Fetish 🙂
