Such a good leather that isn’t trapped by the raspberry and leather combo. Just sampled in Las Vegas… Will see how it wears

Very nice. Very good scent for fall and winter.
The drydown and the smokiness reminded me one of my favorite cold weather fragrance : Zadig & Voltair “This is him”

My second try from the high-end Dolce & Gabbana Velvet line (after Velvet Desert Oud), Velvet Exotic Leather is a bright, interesting mix of leather, fruity accords that are probably yielded mostly by the juniper and perhaps the labdanum, some sweetness (perhaps attributed to the rum, even), as well as some noticeable incense that comes off quite spicy rather than smoky.
The leather itself isn’t particularly dominant but rather part of a reasonably-balanced ensemble, so it’s not overly animalic, despite the alleged presence of clary sage, which can often exacerbate some of the dirtiness of a composition. Rather, it’s quite sweet overall, not specifically boozy but there’s something sweet about it that’s not strictly the juniper, so I credit that to the rum. The note combination is odd, though–there’s lavender, allegedly, but I wouldn’t say it’s very floral or fresh, either.
It seems like a solid performer, with medium/high projection and longevity. It ought to work for men and women alike, and is surely cold-weather-leaning while at the same time perhaps being acceptable in some warm weather situations if applied lightly. My inclination with leather and incense is to generally avoid them in the summer except under unusual circumstances.
The 50ml EDP bottle retails for $230 but is available on Notino at $130, and the latter price seems more appropriate, given that for a 50ml bottle, it doesn’t dazzle like its similarly-priced counterpart brands like Tom Ford Private Blend or By Kilian.
It’s a nice fragrance and a decant that I’ll hang on to but not one I’ll likely buy even at the secondary market pricing. It works well, but fails to really impress me, though it’s agreeable enough.

It does share some facets with “La Nuit de L`Homme Le Parfum”, however the rum here makes the juice more interesting.

Decent buy if you can get it at all good price. Smells like a more refined generic boozy-leather scent in a luxurious presentation
maxbolt – :
Sweet cinnamon scent. I absolutely love it
neurov – :
Projection and longevity beast!
Smells good, nothing extraordinary, previous reviewer @antonpan describes it best- YSL La Nuite de L’homme / D&G the one. So if you like those fragrances, think of this as a more refined and much more expensive version of the aforementioned.
GreenDim – :
This is YSL La Nuit de L’Homme meets Dolce & Gabbana The one for men. Creamy, powdery, sweet. The longevity is low.

I am getting this one in a couple weeks. I am so excited!
