In the evening with a mug of mead fall comfortably into the armchair.
I am, it seems, kind of addicted to these raspberry leather waters à la Tuscan Leather: La Yuqawam (bought!), Arabi Cana (too herbaceous!), Godolphin (bottle for Arab dictators), Rammstein cocaine (yes, that one too!), and last but not least: Colonia Leather.
But here the raspberry plays a rather subordinate role. The focus is on realistically depicted suede, in the various phases of its fragrance development, first citrusy like a cologne, then sweetishly resinous, almost as if surrounded by honey, complemented by a fine touch of floralness. The biggest difference to, for example, La Yuqawam I see in the missing smokiness. This makes Colonia Leather tamer, more comfortable, but also much more wearable. So the scent suits calmer, more down-to-earth minds, seems unagitated and serene, malicious tongues (my wife) may accuse it of a certain old-fashionedness (but she also says that about Dior Homme Intense - so it's all relative: being able to judge the smell of the contents of granny's handbag as an olfactory experience separates the philistine from the perfume, which is only a side note).
Be that as it may, I find Colonia Leather quite modern and can identify with its charisma. He doesn't get on my nerves at any stage, and his performance fits perfectly. CL is more backlight than spotlight, more theme than focus. Where I really need to be in the mood (and ready to stage myself) for TL or the irresistible, Colonia Leather allows me to be myself, either correctly dressed in the office or simply falling into the grubby armchair at home, from September to April. Thanks, AdP!
