Leather Eau de Parfum

Leather Eau de Parfum by Acqua di Parma delivers a powerful, dark, and smoky leather scent that feels both luxurious and confrontational. The opening presents a dense, burnished leather accented by sharp citrus notes and a hint of raspberry, creating an intense early impression that some describe as resembling a charcoal briquette or old smokestack. Over time, this evolves into a smoother, more refined leather with woody depth and subtle floral and fruity undertones—particularly rose and cedar—that provide balance without diminishing the core leather character. Scent-wise, it leans strongly masculine and resonates best during colder months and evening wear, delivering moderate to strong sillage and exceptional longevity. It's not subtle; its impact is immediate, linear, and highly concentrated, making it feel less like a background scent and more like a bold statement. Despite some users finding the initial animalic or burnt leather aspect off-putting—comparing it to a sooty ashtray or barnyard—it's widely recognized for its authentic, high-quality leather presentation, which sets it apart from more synthetic counterparts like Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather. It stands as a standout in its category for its depth, maturity, and rich dry-down.
