Leatherize delivers a hyper-realistic, uncompromising leather scent that feels like dipping your nose into a freshly cast, aged leather glove or jacket. It opens with a dense, smoky, slightly rubbery leather accord—dark and masculine—characterized by notes of cade oil, labdanum, and myrrh, giving it a distinctive raw, aromatic earthiness. The heart reveals a dry, astringent warmth, with subtle woodsy and green facets like cypriol and orris, which lend structure and depth. As it settles, the leather becomes translucent and slightly rubbery, reminiscent of the interior of new leather sneakers or a well-worn, loamy leather bag. It’s intensely present, more of a statement than an enhancer, with strong sillage and a bold character that doesn't fade quickly. Though it’s not the most long-lasting on all skin types—some report moderate longevity—even the best performers wear it through the evening into night. Many users find it especially impactful when layered over sweet or floral perfumes, amplifying their leather facets without compromise. It’s clearly not a casual or everyday scent but a punchy, niche leather bomb for those who crave authenticity and intensity.
