Scent of the day - Dior Leather Oud

Leather Oud is one of those perfumes that never fails to stir my emotions. It's a delight every time. How often does that happen with perfume? In my experience, quite seldom.

I've reviewed Leather Oud in detail before, here, but suffice to say that it is a wonderful fragrance. It still strikes me as being ever so slightly naughty, with a hint of skank that reminds me a little of Absolue Poir Le Soir. When I say skank, it really reminds me of the smell of hot skin, that may have sweated a little and dried. Not body odour, but more like clean hot skin after love-making. There, I said it...

I haven't tried a lot else from the Dior exclusive line, but for me, Leather Oud is a winner. A must try in my opinion.

  2. I have a sample of Leather Oud but haven't tried it yet on skin. I should probably do it tomorrow and then read your review. But I should say now that you gave it a quite compelling recommendation.

  4. Undina, I'd be interested to know what you think of it. It is one of my favourites, no doubt. Thanks for commenting.

    1. I tested Leather Oud a couple of times. I think it's a very good perfume, I like the scent itself but it is too masculine for me. I will wear it once or twice more (while my sample lasts) but probably I do not need more.

  5. Undina, glad you liked it, even if you found it a bit too masculine. I just find it quite sexy to be honest. I have a similar feeling from MFK's Absolue Pour Le Soir.
