Matière Première Falcon Leather Extrait is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2024, created by Aurélien Guichard. Falcon Leather Extrait opens with Saffron, settles into a heart of Birch Tar, and dries down to a base of Labdanum and Benzoin. Matière Première's Falcon Leather Extrait carries an Acquired verdict, a musk-led wear.

This is a seriously polarising leather beast. You'll either adore its unapologetic intensity and rich, smoky depths, or you'll be running for the hills from its 'screechy' saffron and birch tar onslaught. Not for the faint-hearted, but a true leatherhead's dream.

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

Falcon Leather Extrait plunges you into a dark, smoky leather experience from the off. Saffron introduces a metallic, almost spicy edge before revealing the raw, tar-like birch tar at its heart. This is a bold, almost animalic leather, softened later by rich, balsamic labdanum and benzoin, adding a sophisticated, ambery depth to its intense, smouldering character.
