Ombré Leather (2018)
Fragrance notes
Character
Cold nights call for Ombré Leather, a dark, smoky leather fragrance that has nothing to do with soft daytime scents. The composition sticks around well and the sillage builds a tight, warm cloud, present but not overwhelming for whoever stands near you. Cardamom opens it with a brief spiced lift before leather and jasmine sambac take over, animalic and smoky in a way that feels raw rather than polished. Amber, moss and patchouli close it out with an earthy, mossy base that keeps the leather grounded, and the cardamom never really returns once it has done its job at the top.
This is built for the darkest, chilliest stretch of the calendar, worn to evenings out, dinners, anywhere the cold and the dark both suit its mood. Anyone chasing a light, citrus-led daytime scent will find nothing of that here, and neither will someone hoping for a soft, casual, easy-to-wear fragrance.
What makes it distinctive is how the smoky leather and animalic jasmine sit together without either one softening the other, giving the whole thing a slightly untamed character from start to finish, closer to a worn jacket than a polished suit.
