Leather Recipes

Here are a few recipes to help you get started.

Hints: You can blend the solid perfumes in any order. Try varying the amount of each solid perfume too e.g. a lot more lemon and a little less amber. Sniff and adjust the blend accordingly. You are in control so experiment and find what feels right to your nose.

Tip: Try blending on paper with cotton buds. Just layer one solid perfume over the other as you would on your skin. This way if you make a scent you don't like, you won't need to wash it off.

We hope you have fun and enjoy these recipes. Please get in touch if you have any questions.

MAHOGANY PIPE

Leather

Tobacco

Lavender

INSPIRATION

'A gentleman sits in his favourite winged armchair. He reaches for his mahogany pipe on the table beside him.'

Aromatic lavender in the top note lends its fresh and herbal qualitites to this scent. The lavender note tells us a story of tradition and also of relaxation. Tobacco and leather in the base set the scene of an old library with vintage leather chairs and books. The intensity of the base notes leaves us with the impression of thoughtfulness and brooding.

BROWN SHOES

Leather

Vetiver

Oakmoss

INSPIRATION

'A pair of brown shoes.'

Dark leather conjures up images of new leather shoes. Woody vetiver smooths out any roughness in the leather note and makes the leather feel more tactile and mellow. Oakmoss adds an earthy feel, hinting at the ground beneath the shoes, making them feel more lived in.

Tuberose

Leather

INSPIRATION

'Desire and a leather chair.'

Fleshy tuberose flirts provocatively posing as both soapy clean and wanton at the same time. Mischievous leather adds naughtiness while ambergris' animalic side provides the earthiness and the scent of two bodies intertwined.
