Of course, leather is very present in this, and it definitely is a heavy hitter, but not quite like the original. It opens slightly medicinal to my nose, and I’m not sure if that’s the use of the violet leaf absolute and green tobacco mingling and giving us that greener feel that we were expecting. The opening of this scent I’ll admit took me for a surprise.

Looking at the bottle you’ll see it’s very similar to the original, but with a matte white label instead of black and of course, indicating it’s a Parfum. The overall census is that this was a heavier, more concentrated scent with a main focus of it being more airy and green with notes of violet leaf absolute, leather, cedar wood, and green tobacco. That leather mixed with raspberry is just heavenly! I’d keep Ombré Leather to the colder months and seasons, as that’s where it’ll shine the most.Ī new 2021 release, in all honesty this was probably one of the last fragrances I’d think of that Tom Ford would do a flanker for, but I was wrong. There’s not a whole lot more to add to this, but as I mentioned before, many find this a lot more wearable in comparison to say Tuscan Leather, which is one of my many favourite Tom Ford fragrances, and my favourite especially for a leather scent. It smells very rich and earthy which all n all gives it a very dark appeal. You get somewhat of a spicy quality as well. The fragrance alone is very beastly and even with just a single spray it smells very amplified. Widely acclaimed as being the more versatile leather fragrance of Tom Ford this fragrance opens up heavy with leather and some type of floral (Jasmine I believe is in this). I’ve sprayed these on a forearm each I’m ready to compare! That beautiful matte black bottle and cap, along with a black label for the original EDP, and a white label for the new Parfum version.

The bottle designs of both these scents, across all sizes are pretty much the same.

I have never smelt the original Private Blend version of Ombré Leather, but the matte black bottle we all know today that’s an amazing leather scent! Very easy to wear! Fast forward 3 years from 2018 and we now have a Parfum flanker of this beautiful scent Ombré Leather Parfum! I bought a 10ml travel sized sprayer from Sephora (I’ve purchased both from there but about a year apart) and I’m happy to compare the two and choose which I like better! I remember hearing about the new bottle design (signature line per se) and that is was an original Private Blend. Tom Ford Ombré Leather was a love at first sniff for me. Happy Friday! This is just a little review of another favourite Tom Ford of mine, along with a comparison to it’s new flanker. Hey everyone, hope you’re all doing well.
