Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum 30ml

Tom Ford Ombré Leather Eau de Parfum 30ml is built on a black leather accord, dry and wide open, like hot air coming off a desert road. Cardamom gives the first minutes a green, aromatic spice, and sambac jasmine sits inside the leather with a heavy white-floral sweetness that keeps it from going severe.

Black leather, cardamom, sambac jasmine, patchouli, white moss and amber form the whole composition. Patchouli adds an earthy, mossy bitterness, the white moss keeps everything taut and mineral, and amber warms the base without softening it much. The leather stays dominant the whole way through, smoky and faintly animalic, and the jasmine is what stops it reading as austere. There is very little change from start to finish; what you smell in the first minutes is what stays.

Sonia Constant created Ombré Leather for Tom Ford in 2018. Tom Ford founded his label in April 2005 after leaving Gucci, and the house has been headquartered in New York since.

Long lasting with strong projection, so it stays with you from early evening onward and fills the space around you while it does. Autumn and winter are its home and it carries into spring and summer, where the dryness keeps it from turning cloying. It suits a night out, professional wear and casual days alike.
