Arabian Leather, from Marrakech Imperial was released in 2024. The perfumer behind this creation is Christian Carbonnel. It has the top notes of Incense and Saffron, middle notes of Amber, Brown Sugar, and Leather, and base notes of Musk, Tonka Bean, and Vanilla.
It’s not a secret that I’m totally in love with Marrakech Imperial’s perfumes. I have to admit that I was afraid to test and wear Arabian Leather because I have had a very difficult time with a leather note since last winter. The name Arabian Leather sounds as well something very challenging but it’s pleasant instead. Now after wearing it for few days I’m more than happy to find this kind of beautiful leather scent with the notes which makes it so cozy, so enjoyable and soft. Those notes are not only a perfect match with sophisticated leather but they make this scent suitable for upcoming colder days and wintertime as well at least here in Europe. One thing more made me so excited about this scent: I have been trying to find great Vanilla scents. Arabian Leather is so far away from the harsh and edgy leather scent that even the people who don’t like leather maybe would like this one. It doesn’t mean that you can’t smell that note, it’s just made in a versatile and totally unisex way, and it’s blended very well with other notes. Leather is darker for one hour and after that it feels like melting on the skin and it turns more like sumptuous suede. Brown sugar is bringing the sweetness to the leather and ambery concoction together with slightly Almondy Tonka bean and luscious Vanilla. Musk completes the sensuality of this scent. Arabian Leather is sweet but on my husband’s skin there is clearly less sweetness than on my skin. On his skin the opening is present longer and you can easily detect Frankincense, it gives a nice light smoky feeling with airy Saffron. On my skin the opening disappears quicker but in this case it’s just making the scent more feminine on my skin and more masculine on my husband’s skin. Now after testing all 7 scents from the house I’m able to say that there is none which I don’t like but Atlas Wood suits my personality least. I definitely need these scents in my life. You can find the reviews of all these scents in my profile or by navigating into the each scent. Thank you for reading and if you want to follow me on IG: @ninamariah_perfumes
