Step into a realm of dark sophistication with Leather and Labdanum fragrance oil. Bewitching top notes of bergamot and spicy cloves unfold into a heart of labdanum, complemented by a hint of herbaceous lavender and rose petals. Base notes of luxurious leather, sweet tobacco leaves, and seductive amber envelop the senses in an earthy sweetness.

We recommend using this alluring fragrance in candles, melts, and tarts—or create a line of sophisticated soaps, scrubs, or lotion. It’s also approved for reed diffuser base and is an ideal scent to create a warm atmosphere.

What is labdanum? Labdanum is an aromatic resin used in the perfume industry and a vegan alternative to infamous ambergris–an ingredient once collected from sperm whales. It’s a luxurious note all on its own with leathery, animalistic, and musky notes.

This fragrance is infused with natural essential oils including patchouli, linseed, and cade.

Blends well with: Moonflower Nectar, Beachwood, Mountain MistSpun Cotton, Obsidian

Alternative branding ideas: Midnight Leather, Smoke and Mirrors, Warm Leather

Suggested colors: Gray, Black, and Purple

Love it!

Just burned for the first time. Definitely don't understand any review that says it doesn't have a smell. My advice would be to keep testing. Very strong and masculine. I know it mixes with other things, but I think I might leave it just as it is. Love!

I'm not one who loves masculine fragrances but this one just hits DIFFERENT! It's warm and smoky with a subtle hint of sweetness. Just amazing. My husband loves this one too. Definitely finding a way to add it to my collection.

Wow

I very rarely write reviews but with this one - I just HAD to. This is such a luxe FO and I mean this is HIGH-END! I’m so glad the leather isn’t overpowering and the labdanum is perfectly beautiful. This FO makes for an exquisite perfume and I can’t wait to use it in candles (will update later on candle performance and HT) but I have a really good feeling about this one. Candle Science - you hit this one far out of the park!!

I received this fragrance as a sample and OH MY COW!!! If the "Sexiest Man Alive" had an odor, this is what it would be. It just smells so sexy. Absolutely love it and am ordering a bigger bottle. This fragrance is definitely a must have for your collection, no matter soaps, candles, whatever. I promise you won't regret it.
