Other fragrances, however, can make one feel self-conscious of wearing the perfume no matter how good the pedigree of the designer and the creation. They are a bit too loud, or are way different from one's everyday hues. For me, 'Tuscan Leather' falls into this second category.
At first, Tuscan Leather reminded me of a friend in the mid-late-80s who had a high-flying job in London (those were the days?) and a Saab 900 turbo - its seats redolent with that brand-new leather smell. It's that 'old memory lane' thing again with perfume but, prime facie, I found Tuscan Leather sexy and interesting... taking me back inside cars....sorry, we're back to 'Crash' again: I'll stop!
The trouble I have with Tuscan Leather on recent encounters is that, firstly, it is one-dimensional: I don't even find the vanilla: just leather layered over leather.
Secondly, it has a sort of burnt smell that verges on the unpalatable, reminding me of the anti-social sods over the back of me who occassionally have stinky, 'plasticy' bonfires and gas the neighbourhood out before the Fire Brigade arrive to quell them. Maybe there's a new-age Tom Ford trying to make his own 'Tuscan Leather' on the cheap? Anyway, it's a bit of a crematorium-type smell and runs the risk of being another fragrance with the capacity to summon the Cenobites, or a 'go-to-jail' fragrance of the 'too-much-cologne guy that we've all encountered at some time or another!
Atypically, England is in high summer June 2009 and it's hot: very Mediterranean hot like Ray Winston's character in 'Sexy Beast' says. So, it's not the time for bonfires and I don't want to summon the Cenobites (or do I ?) so I'll re-try this in the Winter and see if it's any better. I won't hold my breath!

Ps Once again I'm indebted to the '2 categories' concept that Chat Lunatique created in her stunning ( you MUST read!!) review of Vivre Molyneux.




I take that back. I have never smelled a PERFUME like this before. But I have smelled a leather jacket, diesel exhaust fumes, and the smell that comes from changing one's car oil. And this is it.
Three hours later, there's a vanilla smell that just gets stronger and stronger. Vanilla leather! Wow! I think I'm in love.
Staying power is awesome. Over 12 hours later, and I still am smelling vanilla leather. Amazing longevity, with just a little tiny dab.
