Leather perfumes

The leather accord recreates the smoky, slightly animalic and dry smell of tanned hide, saddles, gloves or a new handbag. Depending on the interpretation it can be rugged and tarry, or soft and powdery like suede.

Smoky birch tar, beech tar and cade oil, along with molecules such as isobutyl quinoline, safranal and suede-like materials, form its core, while labdanum and castoreum-type notes add depth. Leather sits in the base and is long-lasting. It pairs often with woods, smoky notes, tobacco, oud and florals. Leather fragrances suit autumn and winter and evening wear, while soft suede interpretations can easily be worn during the day.

The Leather accord appears in 11,207 perfumes in the Fisfis catalogue. Below are the most popular scents where it leads.
