Leathery Fragrances

Leathery fragrances are characterized by their deep, smoky, and often slightly animalic notes, reminiscent of treated leather. These scents are typically created using accords derived from birch tar, styrax, or isobutyl quinoline, synthetic molecules that replicate the essence of leather with added smoothness or smokiness.

Leathery notes usually anchor the base of the olfactory pyramid, providing longevity and a sense of warmth and depth. In blends like Leather & Amber, the supple richness of leather pairs with the balsamic warmth of amber, creating a refined and elegant profile. Similarly, Suede & Tobacco balances the soft, velvety character of suede with the aromatic smokiness of cured tobacco leaves, resulting in a bold yet sophisticated aroma.

Historically, leather scents originated from the perfuming of leather goods in 16th-century Europe, where fragrances were used to mask the strong odors of tanning processes. Over time, the leathery family became synonymous with luxury and sophistication, often associated with high-end fashion and bespoke creations.

Leathery fragrances are perfect for adding depth and character to a space, making them an excellent choice for those seeking bold, confident, and timeless scents.
