This is so good. I was expecting a rough, smoky leather bomb, but New Leather feels way smoother and more polished on my skin. The saffron pops early, then that soft suede thing starts coming through and it just melts into the woods. It gives me that expensive jacket vibe without smelling too harsh or too "trying too hard." I love leather scents but a lot of them get too animalic or dusty on me. This one stays classy the whole way. Performance is great too, easy 8+ hours and I kept catching it on my sleeve. Def a 5/5 for me and one of the easiest leather fragrances to actually wear often.
Bad Boy is one of those scents I keep coming back to because it just smells good every single time. The pepper hits first on me, then I get this creamy tonka thing with a little cacao in the background that makes it feel cozy and kinda seductive. It’s not groundbreaking, but I really don’t care when it smells this polished. This is the type of fragrance that makes people lean in. I’ve had random compliments at dinner, in the car, even at work with lighter sprays. Really solid longevity too, around 8 hours on clothes and 6+ on skin. Easy recommendation if you want something modern and attractive.
Tbh I think this is one of Carolina Herrera’s best men’s releases. It has that fresh bergamot opening, but what keeps me coming back is the drydown. The sage gives it a clean aromatic feel and the tonka adds just enough sweetness to make it feel smooth and sexy. Nothing harsh, nothing messy. Just really easy to enjoy. It’s not as loud or sugary as some hyped clubbing scents, which I actually appreciate. Feels more polished. I get compliments almost every time I wear it, especially in cooler weather. If you want one bottle that can handle daily wear and still feel attractive, this is a def recommend.
This is so pretty tbh. Not a sharp jasmine bomb, not overly sweet, just a really classy floral with a creamy texture. I get white flowers first, then sandalwood, and something lightly fruity/coconut-ish in the background that keeps it from feeling too serious. What I love most is how effortless it feels. You can wear it to brunch, work, dinner, whatever, and it still feels expensive. It doesn’t scream for attention, but people notice it. I got compliments the first time I wore it. Performance is really solid too, about 6 hours easy on my skin. If you like elegant florals but hate anything too old-school, this is def worth trying.
Tbh I think Carolina Herrera nailed this. A lot of “sexy” designer fragrances go too sweet or too loud, but Bad Boy keeps it balanced. I get fresh bergamot at first, then sage and pepper give it this clean-spicy feel, and the drydown is soft and warm without becoming heavy. That balance is why I rate it so high. It works for a date, a dinner, even cooler office days if you don’t overspray. Kinda has that mass appeal energy like Bleu de Chanel, but with more spice and personality. Not super unique, sure, but it smells amazing and performs well enough to matter. Sometimes that’s all I want.
This surprised me in the best way. I expected another loud designer blue-ish thing, but Bad Boy is warmer and smoother than that on me. The cacao comes through in a really cool way with the tonka bean, giving it this slightly sweet, cozy vibe without smelling like dessert. There’s also a fresh spicy kick early on that keeps it from getting too soft. Kinda reminds me of the appeal of something like The Most Wanted, but less syrupy and easier to wear. My girlfriend is obsessed with this one, so yeah, huge win. Lasts a full workday on me and still leaves a nice scent trail.
Love this, even with a couple flaws. The pink pepper and nutmeg make the opening feel alive, then the suede comes in and gives it that smooth modern leather vibe. It’s more refined than rugged, which I appreciate. Not animalic, not smoky, not trying too hard. Just a clean spicy leather that smells expensive. I can totally see this working for dinners, office, whatever. The only thing holding it back from 5 stars is projection. It’s not weak, but it sits closer to the skin after 2-3 hours and I wanted a little more presence. Still got about 6 hours total though, so I’m happy.
Southern Bloom deserves way more hype. It has that natural white floral thing, but with a creamy sandalwood base that makes it feel super smooth and put together. There’s also this airy coconut nuance I really love, not beachy sunscreen at all, just soft and warm around the edges. Kinda gives me the same addictive quality Delina has where you just want another sniff, even though they smell totally different. This one feels more relaxed and quietly luxurious. Projection is moderate, not beast mode, but it lasts well and never gets annoying. For me that’s perfect. Easy recommendation if you want something feminine, refined, and a little unique without trying too hard.
Tbh I’m picky with leather perfumes because so many go synthetic or screechy, but this is beautiful. The cinnamon and nutmeg give it a cozy warmth, and then the suede keeps everything soft and addictive. There’s also this earthy touch underneath, probably the patchouli or cypriol, that makes it feel more niche and less basic. What I really love is how balanced it is. It’s bold, but never overwhelming. I wore this out to dinner and kept getting little wafts of it all night, which is always a good sign. Definitely feels high quality and very well blended. Easy 5 stars from me.
I really like this one. The opening has that bright bergamot pop for like 5 minutes, then it goes straight into a spicy suede thing with saffron and pink pepper that feels super polished. It’s not a rough biker-jacket leather, more like soft expensive gloves. That’s why I think the name fits, even if I wish it had just a little more bite. The drydown gets woody and slightly earthy, which keeps it interesting. Lasted around 7 hours on me with solid projection for the first 2. Very good scent, just not full 5 stars because it plays a bit safer than I wanted.
Tbh this is perfectly fine, but I’m not running to buy a bottle. The opening has that bergamot sparkle with a dusting of nutmeg, and then the leather comes in more suede-like than dark or rugged. I like that it doesn’t go full ashtray or heavy biker jacket, but it also never gets that addictive edge. Kinda reminds me of those modern niche leathers that try to be elegant first and memorable second. Patchouli in the base gives it a little texture, though it still feels pretty generic by the drydown. Lasts okay on skin, not beast mode at all. Decent for cooler weather, just not my thing enough to rave about.
This is straight up one of my favorite designer releases for going out. There’s this nice spark from bergamot in the opening, but what really sells it for me is the mix of black pepper and tonka bean. It smells dark, smooth, and a little sweet in a really sexy way. Not syrupy, not annoying, just confident. I own stuff like The One EDP and even Ultra Male, and this sits somewhere in between those for me: more modern than The One, less loud than Ultra Male. Projection is strong for the first 2 hours and then it stays close but present. Super reliable and just makes me feel put together.
Honestly, this surprised me. I expected some loud club scent and instead got something really smooth and wearable. The sage and pepper combo up top feels clean but still spicy, and then that cacao/tonka vibe in the base makes it feel rich without going full dessert. Super easy to wear. I can do a couple sprays for daytime, then more at night and it still fits. Not niche, not super artistic, just really good at what it does. Lasts around 6-7 hours on my skin, which is enough for me. If you like designer scents that smell expensive and easygoing, this is a safe blind buy tbh.
I love this stuff. Bad Boy gets called basic a lot, but tbh it just works. On me it opens with this bright bergamot kick, then the black pepper comes through and gives it some attitude, and the drydown has a smooth tonka sweetness that feels really addictive. It’s masculine without trying too hard. Kinda reminds me of the easy appeal of Sauvage, but warmer and more polished. I’ve worn this on dates and nights out and it always gets noticed. Performance is great too, like 7-8 hours easy with solid projection for the first couple hours. Def one of those fragrances I reach for when I want to smell attractive with zero effort.
I love this one more every time I wear it. The opening has that bergamot sparkle with pink pepper, but it’s brief and then the fragrance gets warmer, darker, and way more interesting. The suede is the star for me. Not raw leather, not smoky biker jacket leather, more like luxury suede gloves with a little spice still hanging around. Kinda reminds me of the polished side of Tuscan Leather, but less aggressive and easier to wear. It smells rich without being loud for no reason. Lasts all day on me and the projection is strong for the first few hours. Super sexy fragrance honestly.
This smells classy in a very understated way. I get saffron up top, then a dry woody leather with vetiver that makes it feel tailored and kinda serious. If Delina is dressed up in pink, this is dressed up in brown suede. Super nice for cooler weather and evenings, and it has that niche vibe without being impossible to wear. My only issue is the dryness. On my skin the nagarmotha/vetiver combo leans a little too dusty after a while, so I miss a bit more softness in the base. Still, performance is legit and the overall scent is really well done.
I honestly love this stuff. Bad Boy gets called basic a lot, but on my skin it just works. The opening has that nice bergamot pop, then the sage and tonka start blending and it turns smooth, clean, and kinda addictive. It smells masculine without trying too hard. Super easy to wear, but still has enough edge for a night out. I’ve worn it to work and on dates and it fits both. Performance is really solid too, around 7-8 hours with pretty noticeable projection for the first couple hours. Not groundbreaking, sure, but tbh I reach for this more than a lot of my “nicer” bottles.
Tbh this surprised me. I usually get tired of leather fragrances fast, but this is way easier to wear. The suede note is smooth, the cinnamon gives it a cozy kick, and the patchouli in the base stops it from becoming too clean or boring. It kinda reminds me of those modern niche leathers that want to be sexy without yelling about it. Not as loud as Ombre Leather, and that’s honestly a plus for me. I love how wearable it is. Minor complaint: the middle gets a touch synthetic on skin if I spray too much. Still def a really good one.
Kinda disappointed with this one tbh. I was hoping for a smooth suede scent, but on my skin the saffron and cypriol go really dry and scratchy, almost smoky in a harsh way. There’s a little cinnamon in the opening, but it doesn’t make it cozy, just spicier and louder. The leather vibe never feels luxe to me, more like a new car interior sprayed with spice. It also projects pretty hard for the first couple hours, which is not great when I’m actively not enjoying it. I get the idea, but it feels rough around the edges and way less refined than I expected.
This is nice, just not wow. I get a little saffron up top with some pink pepper, then it settles into a soft suede/woody thing that smells clean and polished. It’s easy to wear and def not as loud or sweet as a lot of modern leather scents, which I appreciate. That said, it also feels a bit too safe for something called New Leather. I kept waiting for a cooler twist or more depth, but it stayed pretty linear on me. Performance is decent, around 6 hours, with moderate projection for the first hour or two. Good scent, just not one I’d reach for over my actual favorites.
