Etienne Aigner In Leather is an Eau de Toilette launched in 2003, created by Ramón Monegal. In Leather opens with Cassia, Ylang-Ylang, and Blackcurrant, settles into a heart of Jasmine, Tuberose, Lily of the Valley, and Peony, and dries down to a base of Amber and Vanilla. Etienne Aigner's In Leather carries a Favourite verdict, a floral-led wear.

Divisive yet intriguing, In Leather offers a surprisingly fruity-floral take on its namesake. Some find it a captivating, unique blend, while others are put off by a perceived synthetic edge. It's a 'try before you buy' situation.

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.

About

Don't let the name fool you - this opens with a bold, almost jammy burst of blackcurrant and ylang-ylang, giving it a rich, fruity-sweet start. As it settles, a lush bouquet of tuberose and peony emerges, creamy and full-bodied. The base then wraps things up with a soft, warm embrace of vanilla and amber, creating a velvety, smooth finish that leaves a sweet, sophisticated trail.
