Dark Leather Eau de Parfum

Dark Leather Eau de Parfum from Molton Brown is a leather scent softened by flowers and herbs rather than left raw. Released in 2023 and composed by Sylvie Fischer, it reads as equally floral, resinous, aromatic and leathery to the people who describe it, which says a good deal about how balanced it is.

The notes given are few and tell the story plainly. Lavender and geranium bring the aromatic, slightly green side, the kind of clean herbal lift found in classic barbershop scents. Elemi adds a resinous, lemony-peppery brightness that keeps the leather from feeling heavy, while the leather itself supplies the smooth, faintly smoky backbone that remains once the florals have settled.

It is worn by anyone. The balance between herb and hide makes it a natural choice for cooler months and evenings out, or for someone who wants a leather fragrance that stays polite in an office or a restaurant rather than announcing itself.
