Clean Shaven Ombre Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Ombre Leather opens with Cistus Incanus and Cardamom, settles into a heart of Leather, Labdanum, and Styrax, and dries down to a base of Amber, Patchouli, Vanilla, and Moss. Clean Shaven's Ombre Leather carries a Statement verdict, a musk-led wear.

Clean Shaven's Ombre Leather channels Tom Ford's cardamom-leather signature reasonably well up top, but the leather accord thins out fast where the original's is dense, smoky and long-lasting.

Composition

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.

A dense cardamom-leather composition suits cold-weather layering and evening wear far better than the heat of summer.

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Bold and smoky enough to make an impression on a date or night out, but too intense for a typical office day.

About

Tom Ford's Ombre Leather (relaunched in 2018) built its cult following on a bold cardamom-and-black-leather opening that reads warm and slightly smoky rather than harsh or animalic, settling into a jasmine-tinged, patchouli-amber base that has made it one of the house's most talked-about unisex releases. Clean Shaven's dupe opens promisingly, with a recognisable spiced-leather burst that nods clearly at the original in the first few minutes. The difference shows as it develops: Tom Ford's leather accord is dense and long-wearing, holding its rugged character for hours, while this version's leather note fades to something softer and sweeter fairly quickly, losing the smokiness that gives the real thing its edge. It is a fun, wallet-friendly way to try the cardamom-leather combination that made the original so popular, and works well layered over a plain base for a night out, but do not expect it to project through a whole evening the way the genuine Ombre Leather does.
