Item Description
This really is the best leather cologne out there. What the scent of Imperial Leather soap aspires to be, this cologne is. Wonderfully complex, unashamedly manly, yet refined and genteel, this really is the best.
The packaging is the best I've seen too- seriously classy in an old fasioned bottle with a crown shaped stopper. None of your poncey atomisers- you just shake out a few drops and slap it on. I like to shake a few drops onto my chest before I put my shirt on, and rub it in with my wrists. Keeps the scent close to your body, and ensures it will last all day.
The scent is at once floral (rose) spicey (cloves) and woody (sandalwood), and smells exactly as a leather cologne should- a very clean, warm, reassuring smell. There are hints of tobacco, ginger and perhaps another wood in there too, the balance is perfect.
In the autumn or winter, out in the country, this is my favorite cologne. Perhaps a little too rich for midsummer, but really it is so well balanced it probably wouldn't be drastically out of place on a hot day either.
