The roots of modern perfumery are deeply connected to the history of leather manufacturing. It turned out well that the Mediterranean climate of Grasse, where the gloves of French royalty were manufactured, also happen to be perfect location to grow flowers and distill essential oils and absolutes for perfume.

In the past, leather tanning involved a pungent process that court-goers preferred to cover up with perfumes and oils created from Grasse’s newfound industry. Today however, leather is at the forefront of many modern fragrances and it’s indeed one of the most refined and noble scents one can wear. Grab this pack and discover 5 of our favourite scents featuring Leather.

This set includes 5 samples of 0.7ml each, packaged in glass vials with wand applicators. The scents included are:

Tauer - Lonestar Memories
Cowboy Leather. An ode to birch tar.

Marc-Antoine Barrois - B683
Saffron leather, signed by the ever in-demand avant-garde perfumer Quentin Bisch.

Olfactive Studio - Flash Back in New York
A rather floral and spicy leather backed up by a healthy dose of vetiver.

Naomi Goodsir - Cuir Velours
An exercise in contrast. Immortelle harshens the leather accord while rum simultaneously softens it.

Goldfield & Banks - Purple Suede
A purple haze of suede and fruity Tasmanian lavender.
