New Leather

New Leather from the Italian house New Notes, released in 2022, is a spicy woody leather fragrance with a resinous glow. Spice is the leading impression for everyone who describes it, most also find it woody, and smaller groups notice amber, flowers, resin and citrus.

Bergamot and pink pepper give a short, bright, sparkling opening, quickly joined by cardamom, cinnamon, nutmeg and saffron, which together create a warm, aromatic heat. Iris lends a soft, powdery touch in the middle. The leather itself comes through as suede, smooth and slightly sweet rather than harsh, while palisander rosewood, patchouli, vetiver and cypriol give a dry, earthy, smoky woodiness. Labdanum and gurjun balsam add a sticky, ambery resin to the base.

Wearable by anyone, it is a leather scent for people who like spice and warmth more than smoke and tar. The profile suits autumn and winter, evenings, and settings where a refined, textured fragrance fits, such as dinners or the theatre. Those who appreciate spiced suede compositions should find it rewarding.
