Regent Leather

Regent Leather by the British house Thameen, released in 2016, is a rich blend that wearers describe as spicy, woody, floral and amber all at once, with about half adding resinous and citrus. Despite the name, the leather comes through animal and balsamic notes rather than a smoky leather accord.

The notes are listed together. Lemon gives a brief bright lift, and cardamom and saffron add a warm, slightly medicinal spice. Rose and jasmine form a full floral heart, classic partners to saffron. The base is deep: labdanum and gurjun balsam bring a thick, honeyed resin, patchouli adds earth, cedar a dry line, vanilla a soft sweetness, and musk and animal notes give a warm, skin-like, faintly feral undertone that suggests old leather.

It is a shared fragrance, worn by anyone who likes opulent oriental styles. Its weight points to autumn and winter, evenings, formal dinners and occasions where a bold scent is welcome, and it is unlikely to suit hot weather or a quiet office.
