Leather Liquid 100%
Adam Michael has this to say “The aroma profile of this all natural Leather Liquid is an all masculine affair throughout. The top is a slow starter on the skin but when it starts, it is reminiscent of new leather, shoe polish, frankincense and showcases crude, smoky and destructive nuances that are better associated with smelling Cade Wood or White birch. As the aroma evolves so does the chaos and destruction, lots and lots of smoky fire notes take charge, charred wood, hot ashes, and so comparable to the aromatic belly of amber crude oil but in a refined, palatable and always enjoyable order.
The leather notes start to take prominence as the other notes slowly fade, and when they do, they come through in a strong, somewhat raw, lustful and raunchy fashion. These leather notes are also underpinned with notes comparable to the sweet gummy character found within aged Frankincense Rivae and it is the absolute perfect aromatic marriage. Within the aroma profile you will find floral aspects that I have occasionally encountered within my cherished frankincense resins, a type of soft floral churchy, incense, saffron spiced accord that is most stimulating and of a saturated nature and mostly found within connoisseur grades of Frankincense Neglecta resins. The dry down consists of leather, with especially prominent notes of various frankincense species, labdanum, amber sweetie, heavily diluted cade wood, so diluted it could almost be classed as a cade floral and finished with spiced nuances.
I regard this material as a perfume in its own right, it is easy to use, affordable, sits nice on my skin type in all temperatures and as it hits the middle, I also realise it has a soothing effect on me. A perfect material for building and further improving incense notes, leather accords, works great in citrus colognes, and pairs especially well with frankincense oils, amber sweetie, Himalayan Cedar and Myrrh oils.”

This material is what is says on the tin, leather. Just what I expected, strong, masculine, only a few drops needed. Very happy

Very masculine scent, in the concentrations I use. Strong and has a nice longevity, I love this with my tobacco burley and my ouds. A must buy, for me anyway.

What a find! Gorgeous, rich, deep, strong – be warned to dilute right down when trialing it – top notch leather. I pared it with jasmine which can takes its strength. In fact, the two together need little else to accessorise. It adds a dirtied-up facet to florals.

I found this odour to be slightly controversial, it takes a little time to settle into Leather because initially there is a slight tone of kreosote, for me. It arrests the nostrils on it’s own but proves to be delightful in a blend.

I must say this scent is stunning and it was such a pleasure to actually bring it close to my nose for the first time. The oil indeed changes after a while and becomes softer and even more pleasant – I find it elegant and sophisticated and makes me think of higly polished leather shoes and some important occassions for which you have to dress up. I am really glad I bought it and would recommend it to anyone who is expecting excellence and and something that makes you want to feel it again and again on your skin. I wish there were home candles available on the market that would smell of the leather in such sharp intensity.

Smoky leather scent. A real masculine fragrance.

Haha I am totally confused by this stuff – I dont know whether to laugh or cry, give it 5 stars or 1.
It seems to be built from certain materials I wouldn’t normally dream of using in a skin fragrance (white birch anyone?) but somehow it hangs together. Whoever made this has an audacious imagination and sense of humour..
Not sure Ill be using this as a perfume material but it’s sacristy notes work well on a burner so perhaps for that candle I may someday make?… 5 stars for audacity..

One of the most beautiful materials, and it is a perfume in itself

After initial smoky, tarry opening, this powerful and diffusive accord evokes the whole chic of refined ‘man-cave’ ambeince; Sometimes –
of some old British Gentlemen’s Club, with its dark oak-paneled walls and book shelves with rows of old foliants, deep studded armchairs of thick black polished leather, fat unfinished cigars, glasses with aged single malt whisky, poured from ‘Baccarat’ decanters;
or it can be a rustic aura of hunting lodge – with the same gentleman and his friends in different set,
or even a cosy spot near dying campfire, on Nature camping during ‘Indian Summer’ of early autumn:
All you have to do to reval Really – a particular, momentary nature of This compound – is to put it solo on a Living Man – flesh and blood; well, mostly – on his individual and momentary changing skin biochemstry;
Or in a turn of a Phrase – to put a Man (flesh & sweat & pheromones) – into that leather armchair in that glorified oaky man-cave. Each Man – and his own fantasy of Male bubble – from Neandertal to Metrosexual.
BUT! To balance such a typically one-sided, cliche description – with all these ‘Man, masculine, virile, mancave, male, seasoned gentleman, hunter etc. stereotypes – Let us make it clear:
that albeit in gentlier doses, this, or any other Leather compound worth mentioning, IS perfectly and justly suited to be a part of Feminine Perfumery – and it blends quite well with Female skin biochemistry – it brings Mystery Edge to all-time too well-known and expected from a ‘Proper Lady’ tonalities – flowers, musks, fruits and sweet spices. Ha ha! –
The most Feminine Fragrant Chic I’ve ever smelled on a woman – was a truly stylish Lady, wearing old-school ‘man-cave’ Guerlain ‘Pour Homme’ perfume! And probably pants she wore too.
– Marlene Dietrich and Anais Nin came to mind. This Leather Liquid has brought me an idea of Marlene Dietrich – inspired perfume…
On the technical curiousity:
beyond the obvious aesthetic imagery of Leather, there are a lot of surprising combinations, because in its singular purity, it is in indeed an Aloof Flegmatic – prim and smug, stiff upper lip, but slightly tipsy Scottish lord);
But in higly diluted under-threshold, as barely detectable accent – it completely changes its perceptible effect, stirrs dark magic in the fragrance, becoming that surpring pinch thrown into a ‘Witches’ Brew’ – inside some profusely aggreable, aphrodisiacally praised essences, which are rather on the opposite side of the Aromatic Wheel.
LL in traces creates ‘Je ne ce quoi’ striking, perplexing effect – in otherwise well-acquainted compositions.
Try it for instance with Tonca bean, White Exotic flowers like Magnolia, or Clary Sage, for delightful surprises 🙂

excellent take on leather! the best so far for me. highly recommended
Schoeib H (verified owner) –
Interesting material – earthy, smoky, leathery & woody – like a mixture of tar, cypriol, vetiver & cedarwood. Gives that bold masculine edge in a composition
