The review
On paper, French Leather is a strong bet if you want French Leather for less.
Palermo Perfumes sells it on the name alone — no note list of its own — so the brief is French Leather's pyramid, and the closeness votes below are the real test.
At $23 it costs 91% less than French Leather.
Some wearers dispute how close it gets — the match is the seller's claim, so read the votes before you buy.
Reviewed on paper: from the notes and strength Palermo Perfumes publishes, the price per 100ml, and how firmly the match is claimed. How it really smells on skin is what the votes below are for.
What it's built to smell like
The original opens on bergamot, sea salt and pink pepper, turns to iris and leather, and settles into cedarwood, musk and amber. That is the brief French Leather is working from.
Top
- bergamot
- sea salt
- pink pepper
Heart
- iris
- leather
Base
- cedarwood
- musk
- amber
Sea salt and iris on soft suede, a leather worn barefoot on a windy coast.
Some fans dispute how close this one gets — it is listed against the original by its seller.
