Tom Ford Ombre Leather

Mostly like a new leather jacket, smoky with a bitter edge. Underneath that, musky and skin-like, and at higher doses closer to sweat or fur. Divides people sharply.

It opens on cardamom, moves through leather and jasmine sambac, and settles on amber, moss and patchouli.

• cardamom: cool green spice with an aromatic, almost soapy lift
• leather: like a new leather jacket: dry, smoky, faintly bitter

It lasts well and carries into a room.

Built from the note listing and the measured performance figures. We have not smelled this one.
