Dark Leather

by Sylvie Fischer

Molton Brown Dark Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2023, created by Sylvie Fischer. Dark Leather opens with Elemi, settles into a heart of Lavender and Geranium, and dries down to a base of Leather. Molton Brown's Dark Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a aromatic-led wear.

Dark Leather is a sophisticated, clean leather that manages to be both fresh and smoky. It's a proper grown-up scent, if a touch polarising for some. If you're after a barbershop vibe with actual leather, this is it.

While its clean nature makes it acceptable for an office, its confident, bold character is better suited for dates or formal events where it can make a statement. It's too substantial for athletic activities, though some find it versatile enough for year-round wear.

About

It opens with a surprisingly fresh aromatic burst of elemi and bright lavender, steering clear of any heavy, animalic leather straight away. As it settles, the geranium adds a crisp, almost soapy barbershop quality before the clean, new leather note emerges. There's a subtle smoky, balsamic depth underpinning it all, preventing it from becoming too light or overtly green. It's a modern take on a classic leather, perfectly balanced.
