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.

Fall Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:
Date
Also Works:
Casual Formal

Its long-lasting nature and moderate sillage, combined with the bold leather note, make it less ideal for office settings where subtlety is preferred. However, its distinctive, sophisticated character works well for dates and evening casual wear, and could even pass in modern formal settings.

About

True Leather opens with a fleeting spark of bergamot, quickly giving way to a dominant, raw leather accord. This isn't a soft, polished leather; it's rugged and dry, almost immediately accompanied by a subtle, peppery edge. As it settles, a powdery iris emerges, lending a refined, grounding quality to the persistent leather, which remains the star throughout its journey. The drydown smooths out, maintaining its minimalist, unsweetened character.
