Fierce Rawhide

Fierce Rawhide opens leathery from the first spray, a smooth suede-and-leather accord wrapped in creamy bourbon vanilla and dry guaiac wood. The heart adds soft spice - saffron, black pepper and a touch of orange blossom and bergamot - while a sweet-spicy licorice threads through the base alongside patchouli, lavender and geranium for an unusual, textured finish. Inspired by YSL Wild Leather, it chases that leathery-spicy character where realistic leather meets creamy vanilla and an offbeat liquorice twist. As a Perfume Parlour version it renders the composition flatter and skin-closer, with the inexpensive leather and vanilla weighted up and the refined, polished suede facet softened, so it projects less than the original's above-average performance. The result is a smooth, confident leather scent that captures the mood of Wild Leather for a fraction of the price.
