I was already nervous about applying Blind Date to my skin when I saw the notes, raspberry and leather is a combination I have a tough history with - it’s just a smell I very rarely remotely enjoy. Unfortunately with this fragrance, it really wasn’t my thing. The raspberry/leather combo smells like what can only be described as Tuscan Leather, I truly believe this is a riff on the famous Tom Ford fragrance. If you’ve smelled Tuscan Leather, you’ll know it’s a love it or hate it fragrance - personally I despise the stuff. There is a touch more balance here from violet, saffron and juniper but overall they cannot compete with the head-pounding strength of the raspberry and leather. It’s safe to say I really don’t enjoy this one, the longer I leave it on my skin the worse it gets. If you’re a lover of Tuscan Leather, you might love this too. If you’re like me and you can’t stand it, steer clear.
