Skip the 'dupe' debate, Roman Leather is a strong beast in its own right: a bitter, honeyed leather with serious presence. It's divisive, thanks to a prominent herbal note, but fans rave about its unique character and surprising

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.

This is a bold, long-lasting scent with strong projection, making it unsuitable for most office environments. Its unique, intense character shines best in casual or evening wear, allowing its distinct leather and amber accords to be truly appreciated. Some find it too heavy for formal settings, but it can work for the right occasion if applied sparingly.

About

Roman Leather opens with a striking, almost bitter leather, immediately joined by a dark, earthy musk. A rich, warm honey note soon smooths the edges, preventing it from veering too harsh, while vetiver adds a distinctive aromatic, slightly green twist. The dry down settles into a deep, resinous amber, anchoring the bold leather and honey with a smooth, lasting warmth. There's an undercurrent of something herbaceous and green throughout, creating an almost gothic feel.
