Ibrahim Al-Qurashi Sapphire Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2017. Sapphire Leather opens with Citrus, Pink Pepper, and Juniper, settles into a heart of Herbal, Iris, and Ginger, and dries down to a base of Leather, Amber, Birch, and Tonka Bean. Ibrahim Al-Qurashi's Sapphire Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a spicy-led wear.

This one's a divisive beast: an unapologetically masculine, nuclear leather that some find mind-blowing, others just plain repulsive. Not a safe blind buy, but if you love a bold, dry leather, it's a 'goontastic' compliment-getter.

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.

Casual Formal

Its nuclear performance and strong, masculine leather profile make it unsuitable for office wear, as noted by community members. However, its bold and mysterious character, combined with long-lasting sillage, makes it great for dates and suitable for casual or formal evening events, especially in cooler weather.

About

Sapphire Leather kicks off with a sharp, invigorating burst of citrus and juniper, spiced up with a hint of pink pepper. This fresh opening quickly gives way to a complex heart where herbal notes intermingle with the soft, powdery elegance of iris and a touch of fiery ginger. The true character unfolds in the base: a raw, rugged leather accord, expertly blended with the smoky depth of birch, warm amber, and a creamy, vanillic whisper of tonka bean.
