Evening, cooler weather. Two sprays — this has real projection, unlike its softer sibling White Suede.
The drydown
- Top
Cardamom · Rose · Jasmine
Warm and floral, but sharper than a typical rose opening — more spice than petal.
- Heart
Leather · Suede
The actual center of the fragrance — worn-in leather, not polished.
- Base
Patchouli · Amber · Woody Notes
Dark and resinous, holding the leather down through a long wear.
The leather fragrance for people who wanted more edge
Tom Ford's leather fragrances aren't interchangeable, even though the marketing sometimes makes them sound that way. Where White Suede softens leather into fabric, Ombre Leather keeps the hide in it — rose and jasmine on top of something that still smells worked, not tanned smooth.
I stock both because the customer who wants one rarely wants the other.
White Suede's harder sibling. Same family, different attitude.
Verdict: For the days White Suede feels like it's being too polite.
