Knize Ten is an Eau de Parfum launched in 1924, created by François Coty and Vincent Roubert. Ten opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Orange, and Petitgrain, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Musk, Leather, Amber, and Oakmoss. Knize's Ten carries an Acquired verdict, a leather-led wear.

Knize Ten is the marmite of leather scents - you'll either adore its rugged, old-school charm or recoil from its potent, animalic punch. It's a journey from challenging opening to a sophisticated dry-down that rewards the patient wearer, a true classic for those who crave character and heritage.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Casual

Its potent projection and unique, sometimes polarising, leather accord make it less suitable for office wear. However, its sophisticated and bold character shines in formal settings and on dates, offering a distinctive presence. Casual wear is possible if applied lightly, but it's not a go-to for lighthearted activities.

About

It kicks off with a bracing blend of geranium, rosemary, and bright citruses, quickly introducing the star of the show: a rich, robust leather. This isn't your clean, modern leather; it's deep and somewhat smoky, intertwined with warm spices like cinnamon and hints of powdery orris and delicate florals. The animalic castoreum and earthy oakmoss in the base provide a formidable, almost rubbery depth, mellowing into a comforting, subtly sweet amber and musk finish.
