Ferragamo Spicy Leather, from Salvatore Ferragamo was released in 2021. The perfumer behind this creation is Antoine Maisondieu. It has the top notes of Bergamot, Lemon, and Saffron, middle notes of Cedarwood, Clary Sage, Nutmeg, and Pepper, and base notes of Leather, Patchouli, and Sandalwood.
It took me far too long to realise the bottles for this line are supposed to look a bit like belts. To be fair to myself going with that because you’re building the entire rage around leather IS a bit of a stretch, but… still.
“Spicy Leather” is a good name for it because it really is a lovely spicy yet airy bit of perfume. It doesn’t punch you in the face with the spice at any point, but obviously when you first spray it, it’s showing off a bit to try and justify the name, but it’s the drydown for me, the nutmeg and patchouli really shine. I also want to bring up because I never see it talked about, I love the lemon up top, I think that mixing with the black pepper are why this works in most seasons except MAYBE ultra hot Summer days, but I’m a sucker for lemon perfumes. Wears very well in Smart Casual settings and dress, and I think it’s good to use on a date, again maybe not one that involves A SUIT or something, but in a smart shirt and nice pair of jeans? Yeah, it’s perfect, grown-up but also fun and not too stuffy.
