Latest Reviews of Leather Essence

The sweetness is under control as well.
Egoist and Carven Homme come to mind.

It's a crafty leather, somewhat sweet and spicy but mostly pivoting to the powdery tonka that, along with the leather, dominates my experience of the scent. Elements like clove and cinnamon add a certain spiciness, with the lavender/citrus pairing gives it a burst of brightness at the beginning that quickly fades.
While it's objective a nice composition, it's overwhelmingly powdery on my skin for the first 2-3 hours of wearing, after which it mellows out somewhat. So in that respect, it definitely performs well, with significant projection for a while. Again, an excellent value, but for my money, I'd rather enjoy a sweet leather in Davidoff Leather Blend.

It is okay, but the components make it a mess. Maybe rate this a 5 out of 10. I liked Ferrari Uomo much better.



So back in 2009 Ferrari launched Ferrari Uomo and I absolutely loved it. It was an Italian version of Fahrenheit but done in a way that was evocative of actual Ferraris, from oil and gasoline to exhaust fumes. Manly! I crowned it the best jus Ferrari makes. That has changed.
Leather Essence is the new king of Ferrari jus...I have smelled them all including Essence Oud and they all pale in manly comparison to F LE. My opinion of course but I doubt you will disagree after one sniff. This stuff is a YES.
BTW for oud lovers, this is the real oud if you do not like the rose/medicinal combo type of oud.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED AND DOUBLE THUMBS UP.
