This or ADP Oud - this is the question.
Floris is since a long time one of my favorite brands, especially because it is said that Ian Fleming was a big fan of No. 89 and that also should indirectly be Bond´s perfume.
I followed the brand and arrived to have Elite as favorite and the Leather Oud and Honey Oud as my nr 2 and 3 even if I have never tested them before. Honey Oud is very nice, sweet, wearable but a bit too light for my taste so it came the time to test the Leather Oud.
From the notes I was expecting something similar to a floral, dark oud with leather smell and instead I felt that I know this smell from somewhere, after a few minutes I realized that it is getting very close to ADP Oud, which has more agarwood oil but smells quite close to this.
It is manly, quite rough and with edges .. this is not a perfume which will earn your adoration in time, if you like it you like and if not .. that is your problem.
I am in my 30s and I still find this somehow a bit too mature for my liking, and the smooth, tanned leather smell with citruses and a bit of synthetic oud in the background is done nicer in Leather from ADP or even in OUD.
With a bit of tobacco, maybe green tobacco leaves note it would go a bit into Tobacco Oud territory and with the TOM FORD discontinued, Floris would fill the spot.
I am not sure how much I like this perfume, it is an adventure to wear it and with the longevity being so good, you must be ready to have it with you the whole day.
