Dior Leather Oud is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018, created by François Demachy. Leather Oud opens with Bergamot, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Geranium, Cardamom, and Clove, and dries down to a base of Leather. Dior's Leather Oud carries an Acquired verdict, a smoky-led wear.

Leather Oud is a polarising beast, a love-it-or-hate-it affair that demands confidence and a thick skin. If you can handle its raw, animalic power, it's a masterpiece; if not, you'll be running for the hills.

Its exceptional longevity and strong projection make it unsuitable for office wear, where it could overwhelm. The bold, sensual nature of the leather and oud accords, coupled with its divisive reputation, leans it towards date nights and special formal occasions, especially in colder weather. It's too intense for casual daytime wear or sport.

About

This one blasts off with a sharp, almost sour bergamot, quickly giving way to a heart bursting with spicy cardamom, warm cloves, and the green nuance of geranium. The true character emerges in the base: a smoky, animalic leather accord mingles with deep oud, creating a scent that's both challenging and captivating. Expect an intense, carnal aroma with a luxurious, well-modulated finish.
