The problem: authenticity
During my time as a perfume enthusiast, I have of course come across leather fragrances again and again. I confess to be no friend of leather fragrances and so far no leather fragrance - and I'm talking about perfumes in which leather plays the main role - could convince me to buy. Too animalic, sour, intrusive or fruity I found most of them.
Driven by the feeling that even a modest perfume collection without leather fragrance was not complete, I continued to search for a candidate.
In the process, then also led no way past AdP CL:
AdP Colonia Leather is an absolute masterpiece. One feels at the first spray already with what passion this perfume was made. It has such an outstanding quality and creates an exceedingly authentic image of leather for me. And that's the problem.
By now, my tastes as far as perfumes are concerned have largely solidified. I like fougere, spicy and especially woody scents. If I wear a perfume, I try to choose it according to the occasion. It should also match the wardrobe you are wearing. Leather, in most cases, does not match an occasion or the clothes I prefer to wear. While I do own two leather jackets and a leather shoulder bag, the jackets rarely get used now and the bag just sits in the corner at the office. So how does a leather scent fit into my life? AdP CL feels to me like carrying a piece of leather clothing. It smells so authentically like leather that you are bound to be on the lookout for a corresponding garment. Perhaps if I worked in a store that specialized in leather clothing, this fragrance would be an ideal complementary good. My point is: I can't think of an occasion to wear this gorgeous scent to unless I also want to start wearing leather pants regularly.
It's such a shame, because the quality and authenticity of this fragrance are outstanding. Craftsmanship masterpiece. For me also the best and only leather fragrance to date, which I appreciate and would ever buy. CL is also more than an excellent representative of the leather faction in terms of progression, longevity and sillage. What other leather perfumes do wrong, CL does right. And yet, I can't buy it.
The brown collection of AdP is now no longer available. Remnants, however, can be purchased in some cases. I fear that one day I will regret not having bought this fragrance.
Thanks for reading.
Peace
