Western Wear Fragrance?

Curious, is there such a thing as a "Western Wear" fragrance? I would seem to think there are, even if it’s not an official category. 🤠

My initial thoughts are that “Western Wear” fragrance is more of a vibe than a label: rugged, warm, confident, and rooted in natural materials. Think leather saddles, sun-warmed woods, dusty trails, tobacco, suede, smoke, and a touch of sweetness—the olfactory equivalent of boots, denim, turquoise, and a well-worn belt buckle.

These scents usually lean into:

Leather & suede (the backbone of the Western feel)
Woods like cedar, sandalwood, or vetiver
Tobacco, amber, or vanilla for warmth and approachability
Spices or resins that add grit without going “cowboy cosplay”

A few fragrances that wear Western even if they don’t say so on the bottle. Some of the fragrances that I have, and I believe would fall into this category:

Memo – Italian Leather; refined saddle leather with swagger
Tom Ford – Ombre Leather: modern cowboy energy in a tailored jacket
Parfums de Marly – Herod: tobacco-vanilla confidence with frontier charm

Bottom line: if it smells like it belongs with a bolo tie, turquoise, boots, and quiet confidence, it qualifies as Western Wear in my book. What are your thoughts, recommendations?
