In the bottle I smell....nothing?!? on my skin....sugared incense, emphasis on the sugar. WHERE is my leather? *cries* My skin definitely amps it, which is good, otherwise I wouldn't even know what it smells like. But all i get is sweet, almost tooth-achingly sweet. *edit, ooh hey, some black musk joins in after about 30 or so minutes...dragging a whiff of leather with it. Now this smells good. Not at all what I was expecting, but good.

I'm a lover of bpal's leather most of the time, especially black leather, and a goth. I was really hopeful for this... really low throw, very "incense" at first - the blend of patch and nag champa is very nice and not too heavy, floral, or dirty. no leather? it's such a low throw it's hard to tell. maaaaybe if I squint? I think I"ll try this again later before passing, but I'm not hopeful

a bright metallic scent. and reading the other review, it could have something lemon-y, but it's not lemon cleaner. it's a weird bright/almost-sour thing that eventually hints at more leather than lemon, but it's a sour-leather

I try all the Lab's leather--including blends. Sadly, I get no leather from this. The aftershave and balsam notes are strongest, and a little medicinal. There's also a sour (almost poopy) note which is the oud on my skin (sigh). And maybe a hint of rosewood, but if I try to sniff for it, I get a nose full of oud.... better luck to those with different skin chemistry

I loved the Lab's ability to nail the maraschino cherry scent in their MC&Champagne scent, but the Champagne ended up drowning out the cherries on me. So I wanted to try again. This is DEFINITELY M. Cherry, but almost too much at first, but then the marshmallow comes out, and it becomes more of a marshmallowy toasty, almond-cherry mix lol

a nice lavender that fades away FAST on my skin barely there enough to even appreciate it

very soft and faint, so it's hard to tell, Maybe some tea, linen, and apple? No leather

That is a lot of salt air and flowers. It's a nice mix of flowers, with no one kind standing out. I did get some ink for a bit, but, sadly, no leather. It's definitely an aquatic scent.

there are two types of lavender: soothing and IN YOUR FACE this is the latter.... just a dab screams all day long. I mean, i like lavender, and it was ok enough to wear that dab all day, but I'm glad I didn't put more on. I got no patch that was noticable, but knowing it should be there I may or may not have gotten tiny hints of something earthy, before the lavender squashed it again lol

I am a leather fiend. I must try all blends with leather. This one is soooooo nice, and it's different since the leather really blends in with the wood. it's soft but very noticeable and makes me feel comfy. The dust&tea aren't something I can pick out necessarily but it has that kind of feel to it and now that I read "root beer" and "plastic" in above reviews, I can smell that, BUT it's nowhere near as strong as scents that actually smell like root beer or that 90s kaboodle plastic LOL

i mosly agree with doomsday_disco. Goes on very smoky BBQ-like cedar. That stays but tames a bit. I get a touch of gasoline underneath, but that fades. maybe some oil. maybe leather. It's hard to tell with all that BBQ-cedar. Good throw but doesn't last that long. I too am grateful to the person who sent me a tester, and am glad I dodged a rare bullet.

smells nice and leathery. disappears almost immediately in the air lol

This is VERY foodie. but the blend is amazing it's on the sweet side on me possibly heavy on vanilla, cardamom, and...cedar? Strong throw - a little dab goes a loooong way

what a great lavender/leather blend. It's a relaxed blend, not quite snuggly after a couple hours I do get some tonka or carmelite water...and the lavender has died down.

BLACKBERRY! then quickly shifting to black currant. nothing else really, which is a shame as I was REALLY hoping for some leather...though it feels like something is underneath supporting the black currant I can't pick it out at all that being said it's really nice. Not too fruity. Good throw. Would recommend trying. It's not something I would reach for to wear with regularity, but I may keep my decant to dry a couple more times, more than just a wrist-test at least

REALLY.STRONG.SOAP that is all. and I often like these notes in other blends

Ooooh i like this! I agree it's *almost* fruity in the bottle, and maybe a touch on the skin, but it's definitely not foodie or pinpointable to a certain fruit The leather is very nice (I'm a leather lover), soft and snuggly under the incense just wearing it I'm aware of the leather more, but a closer sniff is much more incense. almost red musk later on? reeaaally good throw. I just dabbed a little on one wrist and it's very noticable *edit, but it's only that noticeable for 3 hours maybe...the fades waaaaay down (have to sniff wrist)

as always when I try leather scents I hope for lots of leather. wet: COOKIES (gingerbready/snickerdoodle?) dust and hint of lavender follow up quick dry: it has soured (possibly a sour leather note) with a sharp astringent note, which overwhelms the cookies (though they are still there) it does settle down fairly well to leathery cookies *edit hours later...it actually wears quite well. it's a warm, fuzzy, comfort scent

Biting and acrid. Very "yellow" and almost medicine-y. The chalk, however, is spot-on. Soft, powdery, and just a hint of something floral or "perfume-y" (but not "baby powder").

I have to be careful with pumpkin scents. I often amp them (though not the strongest thing I amp) to the point of not enjoying. But every now and then I find a good one. This is a good one. Though I may amp it just a little too much for my personal tastes. I get mostly "warm" pumpkin (borders being foodie but isn't quite) and smoke (not bonfire). They hay mixes in nicely - enough that i'm not sure I would pick it out by itself, but knowing it's there, my brain latches on. I adore many of the Lab's leather blends. This one doesn't stand out as a "leather" scent, but my nose says it's there, like a grounding element beneath the other notes. Mostly smoky pumpkin. Very Autumnal. Makes me think of going to the pumpkin patch and going on a hay ride in a cozy sweater

very dry graham crackers what? yes, you read that right maybe some marshmallow burnt onto the graham crackers and super sweet tea/milk but the dry graham crackers takes over all and makes it a very foodie scent

fir that leans towards pinesol on a deep sniff, petitegrain (orange), incense, maybe rusty metal, it sours as it dries, low throw, slight burn to my skin

3 squirts in my long hair, hair draped over my shoulder, and I can barely smell it initially I got a really nice cinnamon and/or clove, it's still there, but the throw is very low that's the main note, but I think I get some leather, maybe but super faint, maybe some anise but I literally have to hold the hair to my nose to smell anything

as soon as I read zz's review above, I smelled the jasmine, but I also smell magnolia? maybe hints of metal...

sad mine has no black leather, no coffee either it's a sour leather, very "beige" with a hint of sweet? definitely more like some of the other "old book" scents, but more sour after a solid 30+ minutes the sour dies down and it becomes a bit more "velvety" leather, which is not bad, but this is a lower throw than the sour part. and it doesn't last more than a couple hours
