I have found about Tom Ford just few years ago when I was recommended to smell this in private collection. Just wow. Dry like chalk ash, fruity tobacco soaked in a guy’s leather jacket. I’m not original in description, I know. But I can’t find anything that would make me feel more sensual and sexy in special occasions than 1 spray of this.
Sablezubyj – :
Its good, its the OG, back in 2007 I believe it was mind blowing, but to me its not that special when compared to other Tom Ford perfumes.
Its not that challenging, not daring if you dont over spray. Pleasant sweet suede leather smell with the berries, what is so daring, polarising or off-putting about that?
Oud Saphir is more interesting interpretation of the same idea to me.
Coconutown – :
Love it, opening is sharp and in your face (I enjoy it but non frag heads may not) but let it dry down for 20-30min and this is a great scent. Bitter sweet leather from the suede, berry and leather. Perfect for a sunny spring day with that winters chill still in the air. 10/10.

A cocky alpha male dressed in full suit with a hot pink tie. He squeezes your hand so hard it hurts, but you’re almost certain he’s tickling your palm and winking while doing it. First thought is genital compensation. Second thought is homo-eroticism.

First 4 hours of leather, Saffron and suede then complete joy of frankincense for next 12 hours ( i have pure hojari frankincense from oman so i can feel that smell),can feel jasmine bit not prominent, i haven’t smelled raspberries so i can’t talk About it bjt some thing on the beginning is smoky
Any how a pure men choice because its too dark for women(i think). Imagination (fragrance for a good looking suited booted cigar in the hand mafia boss)

Since i don’t have the bucks for this, but I’m dying to test it, I bought a 100gr of Surrati perfume oil. It is said to be 95% dupe of TFTL.
Tried it today, and my first impression was “WOW! This one is strong!”
Eventhough it’s just a dupe, but it smells really great. It’s leather all the way, with raspberries. Other notes seems to be whiffing around the leather with dominant jasmine and thyme strong on the opening, and then you can smell some ambery sweetness (maybe also from the olibanum) with some smokiness, and then it goes to a woody drydown. I can smell almost every notes listed here (except saffron since i don’t know how it smells). Everything amps up the leather beautifully.
You can smell almost everything since it is so well blended. But particular notes comes up to the surface to support the leather during the journey.
I can’t see this as unisex. It’s so masculine. So for ladies who are interested only by the reviews, do not blind buy this.
lpb942Diobtetty – :
This is not my taste. All I smell is leather. Smells like one of my wife’s new leather purses. She thinks it smells good, so maybe I’ll give it another try sometime down the road. But for now it’s a no go for me.
Максим111095 – :
Knock your socks off leather. This stuff is well worth the price. Love it in every way. Last all day from 3 sprays.
FafFruimaReme – :
This is a very bold, loud, yet refined and complex beast mode fragrance. It has the allure of Drake naming a song after it, and the bad boy rep of not only smelling of high end leather (like in a brand new Rolls Royce or Bugatti), but also smells a bit like cocaine! I guess there is also a subtle raspberry note which adds even more slightly fruity complexity.
The combo of the actual juice, and all the above folklore def makes you feel like a successful boss who doesnt play by the rules when you put it on. Having said that, it might be too strong for some people to like, so I think it could be a bit polarizing. But I personally think its amazing, especially for night time, or cooler weather.
acafee – :
This is one fragrance to prove how important skin chemistry is. On my cousin it smells like a smoother, less medicinal Oud Wood with a touch of leather thrown into the mix. Or a masculine, more woody White Suede.
On me it smells like being inside an 18 wheel truck in a gas station.
arkada211 – :
A fruity/leather old school smelling scent for older people. Ombre Leather is actually better. Neither not my thing
Иса Мусаев – :
So I have tried it and got it as a present for my dad. On me it is horrendous. It just smells like strong leather on my skin and stayed that way and I hated it on me but on my Dad it smells great. His skin reacts very well with it. it retains the leather which softens and there’s berries and some vanilla. It’s also reasonably ageless although I cant imagine many men in their early 20s managing to wear this well. Its strong, its powerful and it blasts presence.
anywollubcunc – :
One of my first loves and probably my first “adult” signature scent. It was also my first TF fragrance and responsible for opening my eyes to the world of niche.
There’s still some on a bottle in my collection and I’ll spray it every so often. It brings back memories.
There are now similar fragrances on both sides of the price spectrum: more sophisticated and (even more) expensive (I love Clive Christian’s C) as well as cheaper clones. I’m not looking forward to the day it won’t be in my collection again… but that day will come.

This is a MASTERPIECE. It’s famous for a reason. Try it, let it sink in and try again. Often copied, never replicated. They say this for a reason too. The first time I sniffed it, I got a severe headache. A week later, I could still smell it on my shirt. Top quality product for a premium price. You’re paying not just for the perfume inside but the brand name and of course the presentation as well.
Every time I have worn it, I have had at least 1 woman compliment me. Every single time !!!
It’s that good and not just any sleazy, average compliment but people actually come tracking you. It’s a beautiful scent you’ll more than likely not appreciate. It’s not for everyone.
Classy, sophisticated, serious, toxic, obnoxious, noir, dark, posh, expensive are some words that suitably describe this fragrance.
This is my second review of it and I can’t stress enough, that you absolutely need to have this in your collection if you’re a true fragrance enthusiast. Average joe might skip cuz this isn’t his average crowd pleasing Armani or Paco Rabanne. This is Niche Quality product. None of that Creed BS. You get what you pay for. Smells like a man and performs like a man. No more no less. This is not your average western perfume. I can easily compare it to the quality offered by Amouage.
Liquid gold is what I call it.
ynikom – :
The most standout Tom Ford fragrance, in my opinion. This is what I want… my car to smell like. Honestly the opening is atmospheric and very captivating. Sadly, the drydown is not so good. However, this is a great scent for most formal events. Definitely worth considering.
Rating: 8.5/10
Stelka57 – :
This is my favorite Private Blend, this and Italian Cypress, are rich, manly, close to masterpieces. They are not so perfumy or gimmicky as other Private Blends, that are often spectacular on first impression, and then later don’t feel too wearable.
This is very wearable, as in signature fragrance.
I think masterpieces mix and blend contrasting notes. This does it by the dark and oily leather, contrasting with the rasberry and a touch of Jasmine. The safron is great and plays an important part.
donil.777 – :
If you want to spend 150€ ,it’s ok you are free. If you want the same perfume ,if you want a perfume like this ,if you have a little money ,you buy Cuoio Pal Zileri. No difference.
kaka27 – :
This is not just any leather. This is not like showing up at the pot luck smelling like your new chaps and donning a trusted whip, heaven forbid. This is what Grace Kelly, Sophia Loren, or Audrey Hepburn would probably smell like in their mink coats, showing up for dinner at the Hotel de Paris in Monte-Carlo, with a tuxedo clad accomplice at their side, smelling like the inside of a Bentley that has been bathed in jasmine and incense. I see Frank Sinatra singing at the back of the restaurant. Tom Ford must have had some great dreams after creating this one, I’ll bet.
Projection is a lot stronger than you might think and sillage is just enough to have the waiters watching your every move. For winters only (keep the Bentley in the garage until then).
LepUpseseTaug – :
It took me 6 years to appreciate this fragrance. Recently I tried it again and I loved it instantly. Tuscan Leather is a simple composition but classy and quite manly. I believe that women can wear it but it leans to masculine scents. Suitable for winter, fall, spring and cool summer nights. It’s not so heavy as many reviews say.
It opens with a mild gasoline vibe with a tiny essence of tires. In the air, from a distance, the only I can smell is leather. The leather in TFTL is safe, refined and the combo with the other notes makes it elegant. The leather after some time feels more like suede than leather. Smooth and refined. After that emerges the raspberry with a tiny jasmine somewhere at the background and mild olibanum which exists only to support the dominant notes, it doesn’t play big role. Then comes the thyme along with the saffron which becomes stronger as time passes. The thyme stays at the background. I also get faint traces of black pepper. Dominant notes are suede, leather, raspberry, saffron and thyme. The rest notes are mild.
I’m quite pleased from its performance although I didn’t found the monster I was expecting. Sillage is moderate, projection is heavy for some minutes then calms to a moderate and it settles close to the skin quite quickly and stays such for most of its life. The longevity is good. From my first test it lives for about 8-8.5 hours which is enough for me. Of course I’ll do some full wearings and I’ll update if necessary.
Tuscan Leather feels luxurious and has a mature vibe. It’s not old school by any means but it’s not for teens imo. Better with a suit or with nice clothes..
If you want rough leather try the much cheaper Gucci Gucci Guilty Absolute niche quality imo
If you want a more playful version of TFTL with an oriental twist try Arabesque Perfumes Kohel
If you feel that the raspberry is too much in TFTL and want a more dark/masculine version try Bois 1920 Oro 1920
If you want the King of leathers try The Spirit of Dubai Meydan stellar performance compared to the other scents mentioned here.
tahsa – :
I had opportunity to sample Oud wood,Tobacco vanille and Tuscan leather.All 3 are amazing mostly winter wearable scents…if I could choose the best among those 3 fantastic scents,Tuscan leather would be at the top,following oud wood and tobacco vanille…all three scents are amazing,but Tuscan wins just for a fraction…
Engennapneuro17 – :
This 100% is Tony Montana’s and Escobar’s scent lol
Koshen – :
That’s what is wearing my future husband. I could roll in this. That’s my catnip. The berry sweetness is nicely blended that it makes impression of fruity tobacco soaked in expensive leather. I will sound like broken record but I think it smells like money.
alpeka – :
Talk about longevity and potency. Two sprays after shower on inner elbow at 10pm,stuff around till 330am, put the same jumper on at midday and wow nearly bowled me over. May be on the verge of too strong for me and headache inducing. Do not do more than 2 sprays, people around you may hate you for it!
denuan – :
This is so strong that I can’t smell it. I’ll have to try again in winter. For now, I can only go by memory from the store, where it was a rich full leather.
nyrym – :
This is the MVP of my winter scents. Lasts Damn near 24 hours for me and smells incredible. The leather notes mixed with the sweetness just does it for me. I enjoy this most when out on the town during a nice chilly night. Wrapped up in some luxury clothing, this sets the outfit off right! This is an absolute must have in anyone’s collection, despite the $$$
lilu – :
Brilliant and creative piece of art.
However, you dont have to buy it.
Tuscan Leather is already a harsh synthetic blend of different artificial notes (suede, leather, raspberry, etc) and you cannot be after smelling natural ingredients. It is copied with 99% accuracy by tons of cheaper alternatives so save your money and get Rasasi La yuqawam, Nabeel, or even montale leather oud.
For a better masculine version that is finely executed, try acqua di parma colonia leather.

Tom Fucking Ford….Tuscan Fucking Leather…this juice is phenomenal! I was very lucky to acquire some vintage 2012 juice from a user on Reddit. My oh my. This is the shit. Smelling like a brick as Drake puts it. This is classy stuff. Apologies for the swearing, but I cannot get over this fragrance! It is so so amazing. I can’t wait to wear this in the cold! I can smell the raspberry note and it is just WOW. I have never smelt vintage Tuscan Leather until today. The leather is very animalic, as it is suggested, but so well done. My top leather fragrances are Tuscan Leather, and Gucci Guilty Absolute.
15/10
cher11 – :
Great leather scent. Waiting on the cold weather to test my juice. I see it now…. a crisp white button down, dark denim, leather jacket, some tuscan leather, and alot of machismo. Manly man has entered this vicinity.
king210 – :
Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather is almost as popular as the infamous Tobacco Vanille. I have wanted to try this fragrance for what feels like forever, and finally this week I gave it a sniff after having watched many YouTube videos recommending it.
I will start by saying that I like wearing leather fragrances. Molinard’s Habanita in the vintage formula, Gres Cabochard and Bottega Veneta are some of my absolute favourites. Unfortunately Tuscan Leather is not joining these fragrances on my favourites list.
Tuscan Leather is quite a bold, rugged and smoky leather fragrance. It leans more masculine than feminine, despite being marketed as a unisex fragrance. The raspberry accord doesn’t sweeten this fragrance at all on my skin. If anything, the raspberry note turns this fragrance more sour and jammy. I personally find Louis Vuitton’s Mille Feux a much prettier representation of the leather and raspberry combo.
Tuscan Leather is the kind of fragrance I would wear if I were to explore the Australian outback on horseback. It demands to be worn outdoors with its unforgiving projection and dense smokiness. I would strongly advise going light with the sprays if you were to wear Tuscan Leather in close proximity to others. I would also never wear it to the office as I find this fragrance quite polarising.
Perusing the reviews just now I notice that some mention batch dates and codes. Just to be clear, my review is on the most recent formulation, my skin test being conducted from an in-store tester bottle. The longevity was superb, lasting an impressive eight to nine hours on my skin.
levka6480 – :
It’s extremely fitting that this fragrance has the smell of a new car’s leather seats with a hint of raspberry. This one is the Mercedes Benz of the mature men’s fragrances. Unique, sexy, handsome, divine, and wonderfully constructed. Performance on this one is especially terrific. The leather is very strong on this one but it smells sexy when that hint of raspberry (tart not sweet raspberry) pops its head out of this particular scent. Three to four sprays of this and you will feel boss AF! Collector’s and enthusiasts owe it to themselves to own this one. I disagree with some saying it’s not versatile. This one is absolutely signature scent worthy for a masculine, confident man who likes to stick out from the crowd.
12/10! Masterpiece!!
One of the best niche perfumes ever put on the market. The Rasasi is not redundant btw because it smells more like a flanker (not clone) of this one due to the heightened note of raspberry.
wandererv7 – :
Meh meh it’s cool I respect it and it probably does have a shared waft with the rich white lady so to speak, aside from that it crams out a “beautiful-huge” leather note, later turning a little bit chocolate-y with the raspberry of course and some sort of floral, I never wear it I just don’t like to. I’m scared of my dad
Andrey_95 – :
I LOVE this perfume! The leather note is very strong so it’s better for Winter or Fall. When I wear it I feel like a very important business woman who drive a luxurious car with leather seats and own designer purse! Tom Ford perfumes are expensives, but it last all the day on skin.
I wear this perfume when I need a confidence boost. Habitually, I think leather smells masculine, but this one has sweet notes.
kaimetov77 – :
I smelt this out of curiosity and i am 100% sure i have smelt very similar fragrances and of even better quality for the fraction of the price! However im not sure which ones im afraid. But strong and lethal in strength.
I must have smelt a reformulated one as it didnt meet my expectations in quality.

Much better, clean, intense, gentleman’s aroma. Aroma for connoisseurs. The performance is excellent, and I feel it the next day.

Imagine it’s a really cold winter night. You are a leader of a mafia, You are in your cadillac seville 1984 car and smoking cigar. It is snowy outside. Some jazz music is playing on radio. You don’t care about anything cause you know you are the boss.
Thats how I feel when I wear tuscan leather. It really boost my confident.
But it’s not for everybody and not all the people going to enjoy this fragrance because it’s really special.
klipos1 – :
I HATED the top notes, which turned acrid on me. But the drydown was worth it: it’s dirty and butch and sexy all at once. It lasted all day on me and although I wouldn’t wear it as a regular fragrance, it was interesting conceptually. One thing I’d note is that it doesn’t smell like pure leather at all, which I had been hoping for, but this is a very interesting composition.

Sadly, it is no longer an iconic scent it once used to be.
Where previously you could spray it 2-3 times and still have it detectable on the following day, the current formulation is astoundingly weak.
It takes about 6-8 sprays (will be overpowering if sprayed more right away), and then it is gone in about 3-4 hours. The scent profile is also different, with less prominent leather and more berries.
If you want to spend $230+, look elsewhere.
The good news is, however, it is now wearable in the summer.

Tuscan Leather
Oh boy ! I had been wanting to add this bottle to my collection for quite some time now. Take a pause and think of a brand new sports car, ridiculously expensive. It’s all happening in black & white, there’s thunder & lightning with a devilishly handsome man on the steering. Hair slick back, piercing cold eyes and stubble from 2 days ago. He’s a renegade son of a billionaire oligarch with ample disposable income. The smoke from his cigar is still fresh on the ashtray, and it’s mixing with the leather and suede upholstery to give off a mildly nauseating vibe. Riding shotgun is an outlandishly beautiful woman in a black dress. Her toxic smile exposes her gracefully lined incisors and canines but she’s quick at hiding them. Her blood red lip colour and burning purple eyes convey something toxic and sinister about her. The smell of her make-up and perfume mixes with the smoke and suede to create an almost alien like scent. This smell is Tuscan Leather. With the first whiff in, you instantly break a smile on your lips. The very next moment you realize you’re giddy from the intense toxicity. You being the simple you, immediately withdraw from the scene and realize that this expensive life isn’t for you. You are more of a family man. Hours later, you catch a whiff again and now you just can’t get enough of it. The Raspberry note from that woman’s make-up has started to seep into your brain and now you’re facing a major predicament. Tuscan Leather is one of the crown jewels in Tom Ford’s entire private blend line-up. His creative genius shows in his works replicating everyday scents. In one of his interviews, he claimed to have been working on a fragrance inspired from vodka breath and moist cigarette ash. Drake, in one of his songs compared Tuscan Leather to a brick of coke. In my opinion, Tuscan Leather is Tom Ford’s interpretation of a debauched and expensive lifestyle. This isn’t a fragrance of opulence but sheer spoilt richness. A truly remarkable fragrance you just can’t wear if you have ambitions like those of the Jonas brothers and Zayn Malik. By no means is this a gentleman’s fragrance. It’s the smell of intoxication and poisonous success. Truly Noir and Metrosexual.
никола5555 – :
Doesn’t do it for me. I want to like this fragrance, but it isn’t my type – for lack of a better way to put it. In fact Tuscan Leather gives me a headache. I don’t think it is a particularly interesting fragrance. I asked a few opinions on this, and the general consensus was that it is ‘just a smell’. I can see why people associate this with the wealthy, executive, sophisticated male – but it isn’t a fragrance I would ever compliment someone on. However, I am only 20 years old, and I realise I am perhaps not the target audience for a fragrance such as this.
fat_alise – :
Like one reviewer said below, this juice exudes power, prestige, money and extreme confidence.
It reminds me of a person that is sexually confident, self amused, with nothing left to prove. Not afraid of disapproval and neither seeking it.
I am a man and when I wear this I feel 10ft taller and more endowed.
The fact that this fragrance created all those thoughts in one sniff, really was what sparked my interest in fragrances.
Like music, fragrances are invisible but the sheer power and feelings they can create is mind blowing.
zozo – :
Tuscan Leather is a heavy aromatic leather fragrance. The style here seemed aimed to romantically appeal to wealthy members of the Tuscan countryside—as the fragrance seeks to embody the qualities of luxury leather.
The fragrance projects with a tangy, fruity (almost candy-like) aroma—laced with an authentic leather note whose depth really does well to invoke the sense of luxury. In the opening, this leather note is very heavy though, and can be little domineering and unpleasant at first (particularly for women).
As the fragrance settles, the aroma becomes a little more comforting, while the brighter aromatics begin to show a bit more presence. However, for its initial qualities, as a fragrance suggestively geared towards appealing to women, I would say that Tuscan Leather struggles to have the desired effect—one that I can say Byredo’s Black Saffron truly has mastered.
As described by many, Tuscan Leather is significantly soft and sweet with a feminine veer, but the weight and depth of the leather note provides this distinct masculine sense to it, that makes the fragrance difficult to truly distinguish as a unisex fragrance.
I at one time had compared Tom Ford’s Private Blend line to a traveling side-show—and Tuscan Leather would be the bearded lady.
With that said, Tuscan Leather takes a neutral standing for me, as a obvious intentions fragrance. One that seeks to present itself as a luxury item—and then thrive on the euphoric stimulation of luxury possession.
golubev – :
One of the true «legends» or classics in this “fragcom”, this one has got to be one of the most copied/cloned or “inspiring” fragrances along with Creed Aventus. While it is label as unisex, in my opinion it is as masculine as it gets. (But in the end you are your own judge.)
It starts off loud and very, very robust. It is a rough, harsh yet pleasant sharp and penetrating “manufactured” Ether like leather. It’s also ashy, tar-like (From the thyme) leather of course along with a dark “crystallized” saffron-covered, smoky raspberry hidden underneath it. It’s like sticking your nose to the most expensive new pair of shiny black leather shoes you can find. They have a deep purple suede inside. As time passes by it doesn’t change a lot but the pungent leathery opening calms down and let us enjoy more of the dark purple suede/berry base without losing its murky allure. On a side note if you ever want the same type of leather but without the raspberry, I suggest you try Xerjoff’s Homme. If you love it but find it too harsh or the intro too hard to wear, try Atelier Cologne Oud Saphir.
Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather is must have (Or try) for a strong, confident even in some cases brash, unapologetic yet mysterious and classy man.
iQkos – :
I don’t smell the raspberry which concerns me. I say this because it’s listed as the second strongest note. Onto what I /do/ smell. This was a really photorealistic leather. That said, eval leather, especially this strong, is NOT sexy. Some people like leather for the rich, luxury feel it can attribute. I like leather, but this is strong. It was a little rubbery and reminded me of a new belt, sticking my head in a show (clean. It doesn’t smell like feet), and sadly a bowling alley. 🙁 it’s great, yes, but in the way that Demeter makes shockingly accurate scents, not in the sense that they’re good /as fragrances/. I don’t find this to be wearable at all. This is coming from someone who thinks that you can wear Black Orchid in the summer if you spray lightly.
DIESEL198129 – :
Rock Star perfume. The initial blast is strong, with the massive luxury leather scent mixed with olibanum (smoky attribute) and punches through with a sweet quality raspberry note. You wear it to feel good for yourself. Too blessed to be stressed attitude that isn’t compatible with everybody’s opinion and taste. Longevity, silage and overall performance are beyond comparison. Pure class.
gregori007 – :
Yikes! This one is not for me! I purchased a sample on ebay to try it, and I’m glad I did before purchasing an entire bottle. I am looking for a spicy sexy scent and this is not it for me. Smells too sweet for a leather scent. It smells like eating a popsicle in the summer in a taxidermy shop. Too much dead animal scent from the leather. I will pass on this one.

All hail the king of all leather fragrances… Total beast mode in all categories…. Nothing better imo
seen – :
The perfect realistic leather scent!
My bottle’s batch code is A17, produced in January 2017. The first couple times I wore it, I was really let down by the performance, but wearing it once a week or so, I have noticed the performance has gotten a little better. (I’ve had this happen with other scents as well.) It’s not as weak as the weakest batches I’ve tested, but it’s also not as strong as the original formulation.
This tends to last a total of 10-12 hours noticeably with 3 sprays, if I’m in a scent-sterile environment, like the office, but this isn’t necessarily an office friendly scent. My favorite time to wear this is when going out on a Friday/Saturday night. On those occasions, it works perfectly fine – so long as I’m not going to a restaurant, or, God forbid, a steak house. This scent would be overpowered by a steak house and the scent would not mesh well, but I digress…
Projection starts out a little stronger than moderate, but becomes moderate within a couple hours, then remains moderate for another 3-4 hours. I typically carry an atomizer with me when wearing this scent, to refresh the projection after the 4 hour mark. On the bright side, all it takes is one spray to bring the sillage back to a desirable level.
All that boring stuff aside, this is probably my FAVORITE scent of all time and will likely remain in my Top 5, indefinitely, regardless of season. I will agree, this isn’t quite the beast it once was… I would have liked to have a bottle that performed as well as the original formulation, but luckily, all is not lost…
If the price is an issue for you, Nabeel Macho Man is an amazing clone. It’s actually the cheapest clone available, yet the scent is nearly spot on.

Quality and opulence. The raspberry in this fragrance is just gorgeous, and the leather is high quality. This is just a masterpiece to me. It’s something that needs to be experienced. I can’t articulate words to give it justice.
artergeTamb – :
One of the top leather scents in my book without a doubt. That sweet raspberry and smoky leather combo is freakishly delicious and absolutely in the Top 10 of my humble collection. There’s a slight ashy-tobacco vibe to it at times which is lovely in my opinion. Every second of this perfume is gorgeous and it performs like a champion. I would get the large flacon for sure if I could blow money like that!
“Ultra Sexy Leather” would have been a more fitting name for this fkn brilliant perfume!
Masterpiece
kir921 – :
For those who, as myself, enjoy layering fragrances… This one goes very well with MFK’s Aqua Vitae Forte, IMO. As for Tuscan Leather itself, a perfume I enjoy wearing but have not received compliments from others. But thats ok as I find it more personal.
SammoHung – :
I have to chime in and agree with the other comments regarding TL’s performance these days. My first full bottle a few years back was a 2015 batch and compared to an older decant,it’s utterly underwhelming. Within about 2 hours it becomes a skin scent,after about 4 hours it’s barely detectable.
Thinking it was a bad bottle,I recently acquired a 2014 one hoping it might be better….but no,it’s just as bad. The whole composition seems thinner and neutered and not worth the asking price I’m afraid… I’m more inclined to reach for the excellent clone, Cuoio by Pal Zileri. If you have the same issues with TL, I suggest tracking this down as it’s waaaaaay cheaper and I get great performance from it… overall it just feels more full-bodied to me than this rubbish Tom Ford is pumping out now.
Another one bites the dust!
mussa91 – :
I initially tried TL from a decant I got from ebay. I fell in love instantly and the performance was incredible. 12hr+ longevity and solid sillage for 5-6hrs atleast. It was everything I had wanted.
Once I finished the decant, I bought a full bottle from Heathrow Duty Free. Much to my dismay, this juice is rather lacklustre. The opening is very different, much more tarry. The raspberry note never truly seems to come forth. Previously the sweet notes would kick in after 15-20min of spraying, and combine with the leather to create a truly enjoyable scent. Now, it’s very linear.
And yet, the biggest issue is the performance. I think I applied around 8 sprays and got 5hrs max with poor projection. Just for comparison with the decant, 4 sprays before a nightout and i could still smell it at noon next day!
Massively disappointed to say the least.
pompyjel184Negeltzex – :
There is definitely truth in advertising here. This smells like leather. I really didn’t get much else in the way of notes. I was anticipating something with a strong leather note interplaying with other elements, but I didn’t get any of that.
