first proper Leathery dupe i've owned and it set the bar high. if my bottle ran out tonight i'd order another one tomorrow morning.

been rotating between this and the Chanel Cuir de Russie for a few months now. Mandarin orange up top is super clean, and the Musk in the base just stays with you all day. 3 stars, it's nice but i expected a bit more character.
- Marcela HoldenVerified buyer
wore it for a week straight, here's my honest take after 10+ wears. feels like a refined extrait when you smell it up close. in love, 5 stars.

i keep reaching for this over the original, that's how good it is. strong 4, soft 5 depending on the day.
