This is the true signature of the fragrance, the character that those around you will come to recognise. Finally, the base of leather, woody notes and tobacco anchors the composition, providing the lasting trail and the memory Ombre Leather Parfum leaves long after you have left the room.

The overall accord profile leans toward leather, woody, making Ombre Leather Parfum a composition that reads with purposeful clarity to anyone paying attention.
