If You Think You Don’t Like the Smell of Leather…These Perfumes Will Change That

For as long as I can remember, I’ve always found myself drawn towards fragrances whose brands have created lore or a character for. Finding the ones that not only leave me feeling inspired to embrace new (possibly bolder and edgier sides of me) is where it all starts. For now, I’m furloughing my dedication to fresh-smelling, powdery florals and diving into a fragrance note that comes with warmth, depth, and a whole lot of mystery: leather. Leaning into your comfort fragrances definitely feel familiar and friendly, but why not fully embrace (or at least shake hands with) the version of you a perfume can bring out?

To investigate this, in true beauty editor fashion, I’ve sifted through hundreds of fragrances to identify the seven best leather perfumes that money can buy to prove it. From a unique and vibrant olfactory experience that transports you to the rolling hills of the more rustic wild west to the Harley enthusiast frequented dive bars off Route 66, I promise there’s a fragrance here for everyone. If that sparks your interest as much as it did mine, keep on scrolling to find your perfume match made in heaven.
