In the world of men’s fragrances, those with leather notes are perhaps the most sophisticated. An embodiment of elegance and allure, they conjure images of a well-dressed man who looks stylish regardless what he wears: be it an elegant business suit, a casual shirt with slacker pants or a motorcycle jacket with the matching boots. To complete this chic look, he would just need a few drops of the refined perfume like The Parfums de Marly Godolphin. This fragrance is excellent to wear for any man who wants to make a lasting impression, no matter where he goes.

I bought this as a gift for my husband without testing it beforehand. Based on the reviews, I can't say that I didn't like the scent, but it's a bit strange for me, maybe it's the leather note. Overall, I'm not overly thrilled, but let it be.
It starts with a scent of leather, sweet like the smell of a horse (probably the mentioned herbs in the pyramid as well). There is a slight bitterness of leather and a short but noticeable trail. It smells more like the scent of a new leather bag, with the presence of paint and lacquer. Then, in the base, the aroma of dry vanilla tobacco appears, along with the aforementioned leather. The longevity is no more than 6 hours. It is necessary to test it before purchasing, and not just once. I am satisfied with the purchase, it is a fragrance for spring or autumn, most likely. At +20 degrees Celsius, the scent is very nice. And a completely unbiased person told me that it smells like BLACKCURRANT!!!!
