A good leather perfume depends on where you will wear it, because leather in perfume runs from soft suede to smoky birch. Pick the rung that matches your day, then test it in a 3ml before you buy more. Below are 16 perfumes: 2 reference points to measure against, then 14 in 4 groups, from the quietest to the darkest.

Tuscan Leather, Ombre Leather and White Suede by Tom Ford on a pale blue background

What a leather perfume smells like

Leather in perfume is a leather note, and it never smells like one single thing. Suede is leather with a soft, napped surface, which is why a suede note tends to read smoother and quieter. At the other end sit dark, smoky leathers, such as the ones that list birch.

Between those two ends sit sweet versions and fresh, aromatic ones. If you shop for leather cologne or a leather aftershave, the same ladder applies: decide how soft or how dark you want it, then choose a rung.
