Yves Saint Laurent Wild Leather is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2021, created by Fanny Bal. Wild Leather opens with Bergamot, Pepper, and Thyme, settles into a heart of Orange Blossom, Lavender, Geranium, and Saffron, and dries down to a base of Suede, Leather, Patchouli, and Guaiac Wood. Yves Saint Laurent's Wild Leather carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Don't let the name fool you - this isn't some untamed beast. Wild Leather is a surprisingly smooth, sophisticated leather that leans more 'luxury handbag' than 'biker gang'. It's a crowd-pleaser for those who want their leather refined, not raw, though a few find it a bit too well-behaved.

About

Opening with a subtle freshness from bergamot, it quickly introduces a sophisticated leather and suede accord, softened by creamy vanilla and a hint of sweet, aromatic licorice. As it settles, warm spices and herbal thyme emerge, grounded by earthy patchouli and guaiac wood, creating a balanced and elegant composition. It’s a clean, polished leather, smoothly blended, with whispers of saffron and geranium adding intrigue throughout its journey.
