Oud Saphir, from Atelier Cologne was released in 2015. The perfumer behind this creation is unknown. It has the top notes of Ambrette (Musk Mallow), Bergamot, and Pink Pepper, middle notes of Birch, Jasmine, and Suede, and base notes of Agarwood (Oud), Birch, and Vanilla.
Wow! I absolutely loved this fragrance. Some could be mislead by the Oud in the title and although not being all about oud it's definitely in here. This is not least due to the fact that Oud Saphir reminded me of Bella Bellissima White Leather, a kind of sweet vanilla/leather with raspberry and exotic guava notes. This is not so in your face and doesn't have an abundance of vanilla or anything else for that matter. Oud Saphir is incredibly luxurious but somehow calming and balanced and no where near the gaseous, coke driven, bender that Tuscan Leather is. In fact the only similarity I can get is a raspberry note and leather but they are about as different as something containing those two notes can be. To call this a TL clone would be doing it a disservice because I have smelled many clones or similar TL fragrances recently and the association immediately springs to mind. I guess I can smell in the birch in here too adding to the leather feel and also a slightly milky sandal/vanilla thing not dissimilar to santal carmin. Basically this scent is amazing, smelling like a few really decent fragrances I enjoy. good performance too...so top marks again to Atelier Cologne.
