Olfactive Studio Leather Shot is an Extrait de Parfum launched in 2018, created by Bertrand Duchaufour. Leather Shot opens with Bitter Orange, Cardamom, and Cumin, settles into a heart of Black Tea, Leather, and Iris, and dries down to a base of Driftwood, Cedar, Sandalwood, and Vetiver. Olfactive Studio's Leather Shot carries a Statement verdict, a woody-led wear.

This is a grown-up, sophisticated leather that's dividing opinion, but only because some people's noses aren't ready for a proper leather scent. It's bold, confident, and absolutely worth the risk.

Scent Profile

Composition

Timeline

Showing: Overall Blend

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

Leather Shot opens with a bright, boozy spice from bitter orange and cardamom, quickly ushering in a refined, clean leather heart. This isn't a harsh, animalic beast; it's a smooth, almost velvety leather, softened by a hint of tea and the subtle, waxy elegance of iris. The dry down settles into a woody embrace of cedar and vetiver, with a touch of intriguing driftwood, creating an utterly sophisticated and long-lasting aroma.
