Our take

London's Calling is built for the person who wants a leather scent without the harsh bite. Many fragrances in this family lean into a rough, animalic edge that can feel aggressive on the skin. Sense of Scent takes a different path here. The opening combines saffron and tangerine with lavender, creating a bright and spicy start that feels polished rather than rugged. This initial blend sets a tone of refinement that carries through the entire wear.

The heart reinforces this direction through clary sage and iris. Instead of letting the leather dominate early, the iris adds a powdery softness that rounds out the sharper herbal edges of the sage. It creates a bridge between the citrus top and the heavy base. This middle stage is where the argument for elegance is strongest, as the scent avoids becoming a simple recreation of a leather jacket.

The base finally introduces the leather alongside amber and vanilla. Because the vanilla and amber are present, the leather feels warm and sweet rather than dry and stiff. The accords list confirms this balance, showing sweet and amber right next to the leather note. It is a composition that wraps the wearer in a smooth, woody blanket rather than projecting a tough attitude.

This approach makes it suitable for someone who enjoys the idea of leather but prefers a clean, sweet finish. The lavender and citrus notes ensure it never feels too dark, while the powdery iris keeps the overall texture smooth. It is a specific interpretation of an oriental style
