The Scent: Is there anything as strangely addictive as the scent of leather?
The link between perfume and leather goes back hundreds of years and is even said by some to have marked the beginning of modern perfumery as we know it, as leather tanneries started to use perfume materials to mask the unpleasant scent of leather goods that had been produced using traditional tanning processes.
The Inspiration: ‘Bottling’ the scent of leather does not involve using anything from leather or animals. Rather, our perfumers have re-created the distinguished and luxurious odor of Leather by blending natural and synthetic materials in the laboratory– so like all of our fragrances, this product is 100% vegetarian!

Reviews
Not quite leather. Nice, tho
"I've gotten this scent a few times now. It's much cleaner/sharper than leather, I'd say, almost. . . cold? I do like it, and it layers well. The leather notes come out more as it softens but it's not quite as warm as I'd like. I will say the scent stays TRUE between mediums, as I've had the Body Wash and mini purse spray. Also, the packaging is awful. I ordered 5 mini purse sprays and at least 2 were leaking - the caps do not align correctly and can't be fixed. Not the quality I expect from such an established brand."
"This smells great and is great for layering. It smells like a 3-ring binder when you first put it on, but after a few minutes it smells more like a leather craft workshop."
This mixed with Ivy, a
"This mixed with Ivy, a perfect mix of my childhood scampering up a stone wall that was always mostly swallowed by ivy and my crush whom adore SO much and is a leathercraft hobbyist. It's PERFECT for me and makes my heart gently ache and gives me butterflies when I breathe it in deeply from my skin."
"Pairs amazingly with the body lotion. In fact as it lathers, it smells even more heavenly. I love leather and this is exactly what i hoped it would be."
"Absolutely love this. It smells like a Leather Jacket or a leather couch. It does not smell like a farm . It is exactly what i was looking for."
Synthetic
"I was hoping this would smell like old leather, like a vintage shoe box but it doesn’t. It smells synthetic and reminds of of the smell of a new car so if that’s what you’re looking for this is great. If not I would pass"
Smells exactly like new leather
"Love it. Photo-realistic scent of brand new leather. Some scents here are hit and miss but their leathers are great."
"Smells very much so like new leather"
"My favorite scent in the Demeter collection thus far. It's extremely photorealistic. My only note is that the sprays don't last on me very long, and the alcohol content in them bothers a family member of mine in a way the oil versions don't, and the oils (rollerball and bath and body oil) last much much longer on me, anyway."
