MIXED LEATHER
Fragrance notes
MIXED LEATHER by Al Qasim Oud opens with ylang-ylang. The yellow floral note is present from the first moment and carries a soft, slightly creamy tone. It does not dominate the composition for long. The heart introduces leather and musk. The leather is dry and has a mild animalic edge. The musk supports this with a powdery texture that softens the sharper facets of the material. This stage feels grounded and close to the skin, with the floral opening receding to let the darker elements take control.
The base brings Virginia cedar, sandalwood, and tobacco. The cedar adds a dry, woody sharpness. Sandalwood contributes a smooth, sweet creaminess that balances the tobacco. The tobacco note is warm and has a mild sweetness that aligns with the powdery musky heart. Together, these base materials create a dense, woody foundation. The transition from the leather and musk into the woods feels natural, as the tobacco bridges the gap between the animalic heart and the dry base.
The overall character is woody, powdery, and sweet. The leather and tobacco accords work together to give the fragrance a warm, slightly heavy presence. The yellow floral aspect remains faint in the background as the scent develops. It suits cooler weather and evening settings. The blend of woody and musky accords creates a consistent profile from the heart through the finish. The final impression is defined by the tobacco.
