Card Rawhides III

Card Rawhides III is Perfume Parlour's affordable interpretation of Tom Ford Ombre Leather Parfum, the softer, more floral 2021 take on the modern-classic leather. It opens dry and green - cedar and violet leaf - before the heart reveals its character: a buttery, powdery orris paired with jasmine sambac, lending the leather a refined, slightly feminine softness that distinguishes the Parfum from the rawer EDP. The base is pure 'leather shop' - a rich, worn leather accord with soft woods and a whisper of tobacco. The Parfum is loved for its rugged-yet-powdery leather and good longevity (though some find its projection modest); as a budget dupe this version captures the sensual leather-and-orris signature convincingly, with customers calling it a close, all-day match, while reading a little flatter and less luxurious than the Tom Ford. A versatile, sophisticated leather for evenings, dates and formal wear across the cooler months and spring.
