Our verdict on Alaïa: Acquired

This is a truly divisive scent- a love-it-or-hate-it affair. Expect strong, almost contradictory notes of cool freshness, bold leather, and powdery florals. Not a safe blind buy, but a real gem for those it clicks with.

Its bold leather and musky base, combined with strong longevity and sillage, make it a bit much for the office. However, its unique and sensual vibe suits dates and formal events, with a casual edge from its fresh and individual character.

About

Alaïa opens with a fresh, almost mineral 'mountain air' blast, sharpened by pink pepper. The heart unfurls into a rich bouquet of rose, peony, and freesia, gracefully transitioning to a distinctive base. Here, a soft, inviting leather note merges with powdery violet and a clean musk, creating a sophisticated aroma that's both sharp and surprisingly smooth.
