So we all know I got a soft spot for the Leather note. From Memo Paris to Tom Ford, I can’t get enough. Maison Alhambra, the shameless house that turned me onto leather with their Memo Paris clone, Afro Leather. Now they have this one, formally known as Amber & Leather, they recently changed the name to Opulence Leather, yet another blatant knock off from my favourite Ombre Leather by Tom Ford. Its very similar in fact to another fantastic clone also known as Amber Leather by Escent. It opens up with that beautiful spicy Cardamon, before moving into a floral/Leather heart of Jasmin Sambac & Leather Accord. As it settles into the dry down, you get the Amber, Moss & Patchouli. Its beautifully crafted, not quite as refined as the Tom Ford, but your gonna pay a hefty price for that. While it captures much of Ombré Leather’s vibe (about 80-95% similarity), it is leather-forward with amber as a supporting note, differing slightly from Tom Ford’s more amber-centric opening. The fragrance is slightly more linear in scent development compared to the deeper dry-down of Ombré Leather. Performance is not too shabby a good 6hrs on my skin, with an acceptable protection for roughly half that time. At this price I got no issue with topping up throughout the day. If you appreciate leather fragrances with a luxurious touch but want a budget-friendly option, Opulence Leather is highly recommended to test or try My Rating 8/10 Scent 2.5 Longevity 2.5 Sillage 2 Y/N 1

This is one I've been proper excited to try out. Big fan of a good leather, none come better than what Memo Paris are putting out, so this has alot to live up too. This is loud, unapologetic & fiercely masculine despite being marketed as unisex.Released in 2014, this could possibly be one of the most polarizing and potent leather fragrances in the niche world. Again it was crafted by Pierre Montale as a Leather/Woody Chypre. Right from the first spray its aggressive. With Sicilian Bergamot is listed as the sole top note, but this is fleeting. Almost immediately, the dark, smoky leather begins to rise up. After about 20–30m, the scent settles into its heart. Here, Bulgarian Rose and Violet attempt to civilize the leather. I'm not a Rose fan TBH but this is more jammy than anything else and blends in well. The Patchouli adds an earthy, slightly minty greenness that prevents the floral notes from becoming too feminine.This stage is where the fragrance gains its high-end boutique character. The base is where this leather earns it's Wild name. The Leather here isn't a soft suede; it’s a rugged, wild leather, think new biker jackets and heavy boots. The combination of Oakmoss and Guaiac Wood gives it an earthy, forest-floor vibe. The Amber and White Musk provide a warm, slightly powdery skin-link that keeps the scent from being entirely cold. This is another all day scent that could easily outlive the onset of a midday shower. It creates a significant scent trail; people will smell you before you enter the room. The first 4 hours are room-filling. Spray with caution, I started of with six. WL is not for the faint of heart or those who prefer clean or sweet scents. This is a serious, dark, and authoritative fragrance. Wear this in the colder days or for evening events were you want too stand out. This is definitely gonna end up a shelf favourite My Rating: 8.5/10 Scent: 2.5 Longevity: 3 Sillage: 2 Y/N: 1
