Leather Rouge

Rose and pepper share the lead in Leather Rouge, a 2019 fragrance from Miller Harris composed by Mathieu Nardin. Despite the name, it reads first as a spicy floral, with leather, amber and woods adding depth beneath.

Black pepper and saffron give a warm, dry spice from the start, and raspberry adds a tart, juicy brightness that brings out the fruity side of the rose. Red rose then fills the heart, rich and velvety, with violet and orris root lending a cool, powdery softness. In the base, patchouli brings an earthy darkness, leather a supple, slightly smoky texture, and amber a rounded warmth.

Worn by anyone, it suits people who like rose with an edge rather than a delicate, dewy floral. The pepper, leather and amber make it especially good for autumn and winter evenings, dinners and occasions where a fragrance with some character feels right. It is an appealing option for anyone who enjoys rose paired with spice and a hint of leather.
