Tom Ford Tuscan Leather Decant

Tuscan Leather is the fragrance equivalent of a leather goods workshop with a bowl of raspberries in the corner. The fruit is bright and tart, the leather underneath is raw and slightly animalic, and saffron ties the two together with a metallic edge. It should not work and it absolutely does.

It is a powerhouse: ten hours or more, enormous projection, and unmistakable. People remember this fragrance on other people, which is rare. It is best in cold weather and best on someone comfortable being noticed.

The 100 ml Private Blend price makes a blind buy a serious gamble on something this bold, and Tuscan Leather is also one of the most faked fragrances online. A properly sourced decant solves both problems.
