Smoky & Earthy

Leather smells like the interior of a well-worn saddle or vintage handbag—earthy, slightly animalic, with warm tobacco and wood undertones. There's an almost smoky, bittersweet quality, reminiscent of old books and aged suede. It's dry yet vaguely creamy, conjuring images of smoke-filled gentlemen's clubs and polished riding boots. Unlike the raw smell of fresh hide, fragrance leather is refined, sophisticated, and mysteriously animalic without being offensive.

Woody

Oud is profoundly complex—imagine walking into a centuries-old wooden temple where incense has smouldered for generations. There's dark, animalic warmth reminiscent of leather and tobacco, threaded through with something almost medicinal and slightly funky, like aged wood that's been touched by earth and time. Some describe it as smoky-sweet, with whispers of honey and spice lurking beneath. It's neither floral nor fresh; it's introspective and dense, filling your senses with contemplative richness.
