Item Description
At £5 ($10) a bottle, I had my doubts about the quality of this cologne but it gets good reviews so I took a chance and am very pleased I did.
The first question I wanted to answer was "does it actually smell of leather" - well, yes it does but I was kind of hoping for a more mature leather smell, like walking into a tack room. That's not how this smells, this is new leather - a shoe shop perhaps. Also when first applied it gives a quite powerful and unpleasant chemical blast, so my first reaction was not entirely favourable.
I was wrong! The chemical twang only lasts 15min or so then the scent dies down to a very calm relaxing scent, civilized, quiet and with nothing to prove. There is no development after the first fifteen minutes the scent stays the same until the end. In some ways it's an uninteresting scent but then some days that's what you want, you won't exactly fade into the background but it's clean and fresh smelling and nobody could be offended even if you over applied it a bit. Good sillage and it lasts pretty well, six hours easily and there are still traces at 12 hours.
Ideal for those days where nothing much is happening and you just want so smell clean and pleasant, equally suitable for town or country (or even the office).
You can't go wrong at this price.
