Matière Première Falcon Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2019, created by Aurélien Guichard. Falcon Leather opens with Saffron and Labdanum, and settles into a heart of Birch Tar. Matière Première's Falcon Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

Divisive yet adored, Falcon Leather is a beast of a fragrance. If you're after a bold, smoky leather that commands attention, this is your weapon. But be warned: it’s not for the faint of heart, and your mates might love or loathe it.

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.

Falcon Leather's intense sillage and longevity make it overpowering for an office environment, but it's perfect for making a statement on a date or at a formal event. Its bold, smoky leather profile is too heavy for casual daytime wear or sport.

About

Imagine stepping into a luxury car with plush, worn leather seats, warmed by the sun. This scent wraps you in a smooth, dark, and sophisticated aura, fusing rich leather with the smoky intensity of birch tar and a hint of warm, spicy saffron. As it dries, it softens to an elegant, resinous amber, leaving a trail of powerful magnetism.
