by Judith Leiber
Leiber is a rich, profoundly feminine fragrance with a strikingly bold character. It opens with a tangy, gingery pineapple and bergamot, quickly unfolding into a lush, high-society floral bouquet dominated by osmanthus, gardenia, and jasmine, with a subtle spicy undertone from pimento. The heart is veiled in a powdery, almost waxed texture that gives the impression of a refined, old-world glamour. In the drydown, it settles into a deeply sensual, woody-musky base with amber, patchouli, and vanilla, delivering a long-lasting, powerful scent that lingers through multiple hours. The perfume carries a unique balance of freshness and intensity, making it ideal for evening wear, elegant occasions, or for those who appreciate a confessional, layered fragrance that lingers in the air. While not universally appealing, many find it unforgettable—especially those drawn to vintage, luxurious scents with emotional depth.
