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

Ombre Leather 16 opens with a refined, clean leather accord, instantly projecting a sense of cool composure. Soon, the ozonic freshness of violet leaf and the green, earthy depth of oakmoss emerge, creating an almost dewy effect that beautifully complements the supple leather heart. Cardamom adds a subtle, warm spice, preventing the composition from becoming too cold, while jasmine provides a hint of sophisticated floralcy. The dry-down settles into a smooth, mossy patchouli base, maintaining that distinctive suede-like leather throughout.
