‘NAME
The potent notes of oud wood are combined with the raw and fragrant notes of leather. The very name of the Leather Oud fragrance translates a desire to bring two distinct scents into harmony within an oriental duo.

CHARACTER
Leather Oud is a fragrance that wants to be remembered, a fragrance with a burning heart and vigorous strength.

DISTINCTIVE FEATURE
Bergamot notes invigorate the fragrance with a fresh breeze at the heart of the woody heat.

COLOUR
The brown nuances of a supple leather streaked with shades of warm sand and fiery coals.

FAMILY
Oriental. Like a horse race in the desert, the Leather Oud fragrance is an invitation to an olfactory journey in the Orient, where woody accords meet warm leather notes.

INTENSITY
An instant evocation of all the facets of the oriental territory, from sand dunes to the deep night, Leather Oud is a fragrance that reveals a profound and enveloping intensity magnified by notes of oud, sandalwood and birch. – Dior

‘To create this leather scent, I envisaged the colors of an oriental-style painting whereby a world of dunes and horsemen emerge. Its woody accord is a signature full of character, centered on a potent, animal oud. It evokes saddle leather, the smell of fire and sand.’ – Francois Demachy
