Leather Jacket – Our impression of Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford

The mixture of the fruity raspberry against the smoky olibanum gives off a very mysterious feel to this scent. The best part is when the leather starts kicking in. The leather in this is very dry, dark, rich, and slightly animalic. The whole wearing experience is regal. It opens with a moderate to a strong projection of just leather. The leather accord overpowers all other notes.

The saffron and raspberry create a very faint sweet touch. The thyme is more noticeable and it adds a warm and spicy touch; the olibanum also accents the leather notes with its balsamic and spice tones. Towards the dry-down, the suede and leather join their notes in one that comes across as just leather; finally, amber and woody notes add a woody and resinous touch.
