Guys, this is a decent clone of Tuscan Leather, though it doesn’t quite reach the level of Rasasi’s Yuqawam. It smells like real, natural leather, as if you’re inside a new shoe or belt, but with a raspberry note that doesn’t sound entirely natural. Unlike the original, the raspberry here is more prominent, and I detect a powdery nuance. It lasts about 6 hours and requires reapplication; it projects well and leaves a trail. What more could you want for under $30? It’s a great investment. By the way, the bottle isn’t the one in the photo; please update it—it’s black with a silver cap, styled like the Xerjoff bottles. Cheers.
Gentlemen… This is a good clone of Tuscan Leather, though not as good as La Yuqawam by Rasasi. What does it smell like? Real, natural leather, as if you were inside a new shoe or a belt strap, with a touch of raspberry that doesn’t feel entirely natural. Unlike the original, the raspberry here is more prominent, and I sense a powdery note. Longevity is about 6 hours; you’ll need to reapply, but it projects and leaves a trail. For under $30, it’s a great investment. By the way, the bottle isn’t the one in the photo: it’s black with a silver cap, Xerjoff style. Cheers to everyone.
Hey, I just bought this after reading tons of reviews, and I find it very masculine. It opens with a rich dark cherry scent, then turns heavily into leather, and honestly, I wouldn’t wear it myself. I have the new black bottle (new packaging). If anyone is looking for it and wants it, I’ll sell it for 28 euros with shipping included. 🙁
Thanks to DarkBeat for sending me this perfume, which turned out to be incredible and charming. It’s an aroma in the Tuscan Leather line but less intense, more wearable, with a powdery touch that adds softness so it doesn’t overwhelm, along with a hint of sweetness. At first, the intensity seemed low, but after half an hour, it started gaining strength and projected moderately with very long-lasting performance. The total duration is about 9 to 10 hours, but on clothes, it’s still noticeable 24 hours later. I couldn’t have imagined it being this good. Other perfumes have more hype and fall short. Thanks, DarkBeat.
Blessed is the hour DarkBeat sent me a sample of this perfume. I had just gotten saturated with Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, which Arab Tradition openly draws inspiration from, but it did have elements I was hooked on and missed a bit. My partner already said everything in his review. What I can say is that this perfume extracts everything I liked from Tuscan Leather (the smoky raspberry tone) and removes what made it too excessive for repeated wear: its heavy leather load and its multi-layered complexity. The result is a much more versatile and adaptable fragrance that can be worn perfectly during the day. It captures the spirit of Tuscan Leather and brings it to a more designer realm, without losing the necessary identity to grab attention (for the better). It can even result in a fresh vibe. On the other hand, it lasts a long time, projects very well, and is much more affordable. A pleasant surprise from this house, Nabeel: a quality and balanced perfume. Totally recommended if you want to wear something special and intriguing without it being an assault.
The notes are identical to Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford, but this is a much more versatile and wearable reinterpretation. It’s not a watered-down original; instead, it’s a tweaked formula that highlights the incense, thyme, and raspberry, making the leather and suede more docile without losing the essence. In my opinion, Nabeel wasn’t trying to copy, but rather create a youthful, light version, like a flanker, perfect for almost any occasion, even cool summer nights. Performance is top-notch: about 9 hours on skin, with strong projection at the start and moderate projection afterward. It’s ideal for anyone who loves Tuscan Leather but is afraid to wear it daily due to its character; here’s the solution to enjoy the classic without breaking the bank.
The notes match Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford 100%, but this is a reinterpreted version—fresher and lighter without being a diluted original. It highlights the incense, thyme, and raspberry, softening the leather and suede to make it more wearable without betraying its identity. I think Nabeel aimed to create a youthful, versatile flanker that’s easy to wear. Honestly, I’ve liked it more than the original because I use it more frequently, even on cool summer nights. It performs amazingly: about 9 hours on skin, with heavy projection for the first hour and moderate projection after. It’s perfect for any season or time of day, though in peak heat, it’s better for evening. If you love Tuscan Leather but are scared to wear it daily, this is your ideal candidate. Plus, it’s an affordable alternative to enjoy this masterpiece without spending a fortune.
Smells 90% like Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford, but with a much lighter and more wearable leather. An excellent purchase for the quality-to-price ratio, with more than enough longevity and perfect projection. Ideal for everyday wear or work. Note: the photo isn’t accurate; the bottle is oval with a white suede label and comes in a beautiful woven case, perfect for gifting.
