Leather and suede scents can sound intimidating before they are smelled. The words suggest jackets, saddles, gloves, car interiors, smoky rooms, and polished shoes, which may not seem like obvious perfume pleasures. In fragrance, though, leather is less a literal object than an atmosphere. It can be dry and smoky, soft and powdery, warm and resinous, floral and elegant, or close to the skin with only a hint of texture. A leather perfume does not have to make you smell like a store full of handbags. At its best, it gives fragrance structure, shadow, and a feeling of material richness.
