Had the opportunity to test this one for the first time & fell instantly in love with. This is a classical smell barbershop or at least almost…or just a say a barbershop in London or Monaco. I see the comparison with in what people mentioned earlier “typical barbershop” but Homme xerjoff is way elevated i must say. The citrus/clove/vertiver with the woody/leathery is the common formula for saying “barbershop” but Homme Xerjoff doesnt go that far to the point of “irritating sourness”’ where most people find their comparation with “just a barbershop smell”. I love the freshness in this and it doesnt go that sour from the aftershave in the barbershop. This could me my summer scent. Very elegant and masculine. You will get noticed & compliments from this one. Its in the same range as Cuir Cannage dior, Amouage Beachhut. Citrussy + masculien freshness like you just overpayed a barber 200€ but with selfconfidence . If i’ll go to South of France this summer…this will be my companion for ️

This is good stuff!! Resinous and sandalwood..what a combination. If you had enough about all the social media-overhyped fragrances out there and you just want to fall in love again with a fragrance…this is it. The inital spray is “peppery” “woody” “earthy” but when it settles down you’ll get a beautiful combination of mainly resinous with sandalwood. The labdanum is actually the hints of musk and patchouli (peppery). I was tired of the influencers and their oud maracuja (with all do respect). Let’s go back when perfumes was still fun and captivating. 10/10 for this one. No wonder Dior & Givenchy were Piguet’s students back in the days ️

I was so exited to test this one (after all Abdul Samad Al qurashi is a master perfume house). A friend brought it along from Saudi and there we go… initial spray is a wave of grapefruit /pink pepper but like realy “thickness”, or is it the ginger (as mentioned in the notes) thats causing that “too much grapefruit”. When its settled it stays “thick” citrusy and i get some vetiver also. It becomes like a barberschop smell wich you wont get rid of it. Kind of Amouage silver tone in it (tone=barbershop accord). I get the same with isola sol Roja wich i find more feminine leaning because of the “thickness” in the grapefruit. Like it wont come out. Great Bottle great colour great price but a bit disappointed in the outcome sadly..

A blanket of elegance and comfort. You cannot buy style, it’s a state of mind and François Demachy has proven this once again. The opening is a wave of bergamot/orange blossom that spreads further with birch and leather but in such an elegant way that you can't help but love this perfume. Where does it stop? Sound can create echoes, this smell doesn't stop if you know what I mean. The birch becomes so soft with the tobacco and violet that your senses now get the true meaning of leather. The statement in 2014 was that they wanted to “scent the inside of a leather bag”…..I see a piece of wood with a fine layer of varnish or even as Andy Tauer described his Lonestar Memories as a rider after a long day on his horse...well the saddle of that horse, that paint, the leather pfffff where does it stop? Well...on the Cote d'Azur after sunset on a terrace and dreaming that this scent would never end…. Best discontinued fragrance ever!!!!



Ps: this is about the 2014 batch…

Sometimes less is more you know? Everything is so expensive these days, global heating fucked up collegues at work (and supervisors), everybody is complaining you know.
The thing i love in niche fragrances is that the nose behind this fragrance is isolated in a way from this world and just focused on formula’s. Leather 6 is realy one of my top 3 fragrances ever!!! This juice got me so elevated that I’m speechless. Yes there is leather, and some burned sugar but dont let the name get you confused. This is my signature scent for now and we are in hot summer time!!!

Its getting hot in here!!!!!
