Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

Date Formal

Its potent projection and rich leather accord make it a bit much for the office but perfect for formal events and dates. While some find it versatile enough for year-round wear, it truly shines in cooler weather and dressed-up settings.

Declarable allergens

We derive these from the materials behind this fragrance's notes, not from the bottle. Each one is likely, not confirmed. The list is partial - the box can name others.

In standard patch-test panels

  • Citral Geranial from Lemon
  • Geraniol from Rose

The large name is the everyday one. The small name is the INCI form on the box, so you can compare the two. Reactions differ between people. A patch-test panel is not a ranking of risk. How we derive this

About

Colonia Leather opens with a bright, zesty burst of lemon and orange, quickly mingling with a soft raspberry sweetness. This vibrant introduction deftly segues into a refined heart of delicate rose and aromatic petitgrain before settling into its core: a smooth, luxurious leather, underscored by warm cedar and smoky guaiac wood. It’s a scent that evolves beautifully, balancing fresh facets with deep, rich undertones.
