Legendary. A floral leather with a unique personality, a 1920s classic by Coty and Roubert that remains timeless and glamorous despite reformulations. Balanced, powerful, and excellent projection. Opens strong with citrus, terpene, and spicy notes, featuring that original raspberry and the signature tar touch, spiced with eugenol. The carnation provides the floral, while patchouli and sandalwood add depth and masculinity. The drydown is my favorite: smoky amber and leather, dense and fascinating. It stays elegant and classy. An icon worn by Manolo Blahnik and James Dean. Rating: 8.5

Brutal opening: tarred, citrusy, and spicy, just like gelo999 describes. Over time, the tar fades but doesn’t die, giving way to spectacular flowers, I believe carnations, mixed with a constant civet note. As it dries down, it smells like raspberry (even though it doesn’t list it, it’s the blend that creates it) with an amber touch. It’s a beast of a leather scent, one of the best you can get today at a decent price. Average projection but noticeable, lasting about 4-6 hours as an eau de cologne. More for men, though that’s subjective. Perfect for any weather except extreme heat. Very good Knize Ten, sir.
Brutal opening—tarred, citrusy, and spicy, as gelo999 explains. Over time, the tar fades but doesn’t die, giving way to spectacular flowers, I believe carnations, mixed with a constant civet. As it dries, it smells like raspberry (even though I don’t wear it; it’s the blend that creates it) with an amber touch. It’s a beast of a leather, one of the best available today at a decent price. Moderate projection but present, lasting 4-6 hours as an EDT. More for men, though that’s subjective. Ideal for any weather except extreme heat. Very good Knize Ten, sir.
Perfume jewel: nearly a century with us and still burning with originality. Yes, it’s pricey and hard to find, but every euro of suffering is worth it. Knize Ten is a pure explosion of fine leather, like stepping into a tufted study or smelling a box of brand-new Italian shoes. And watch out, it does have bitter cherries, but they’re so blended with the leather you barely notice them. The vibe is smooth, glossy, reddish leather. Projection and longevity are more than decent, well above average. A masterpiece where everything points to the same note: red leather, the same color as James Dean’s frenzied heart that fatal night. Rating: 10/10
Knize Ten is one of the few surviving leather fragrances that has stood the test of time and IFRA restrictions. It’s the only one of its kind from the pre-World War II era. Created in 1925 by Francois Coty for the Knize tailor shop, which dressed the Austrian Royal Court. This sincere, manly leather features a splendid strawberry note that makes it unique. It reminds me of an exclusive private club with imported cigars and wood-paneled walls. Probably the kind of scent Captain Ludwig von Trapp would wear in ‘The Sound of Music’. The reformulations haven’t ruined it; several sources confirm it’s similar to the original or an old version. It’s different from the current ones (I love them), but not for everyone. Every perfume lover should try it or own it. It’s versatile; it was James Dean’s signature scent.
I’d been wanting to try Knize Ten for years. I love old leathers, and being a bit slow on the uptake, I imagined a packaging mistake. Ten doesn’t smell like what I expected: it’s not a sour, severe, and damp leather with an air of sanctity. It’s a wearable leather caked in spicy carnations and ambered vanillas, common for its time. It’s absolutely unisex. After trying it, I thought, ‘Is this Guerlain?’ It smells like Guerlain—no barnyard or saddlery leather, but a tamed and Guerlain-esque leather. It’s a close cousin to Shalimar in its early days: a more masculine Shalimar, without resins and less vampish. If Guerlain is unisex, so is this. Probably the James Dean legend doesn’t help women discover it. Any Shalimar user would wear it gladly. I haven’t felt the smoky, powerful animal notes they talk about; it’s a well-worn leather, super-spiced, with flowers, spices, and that 30s vanity-table vanilla. It lasts well, doesn’t feel archaic or like an antique. I didn’t sense the strawberry legend exactly, but at 45 minutes, a refreshing pink acidic note emerges, like smoked cherry-citrus, perhaps with cinnamon, jasmine, amber, vanilla, and eugenol. After the opening, it recalls Old Spice, Tabac, and Oriental Woods. It’s a cozy, tender, and spicy leather perfume. You’ll love it if you adore 30s spiced woods; if you’re looking for wild, untamed leather, this isn’t it. Compared to Gres Cabochard, which feels more gothic and religious, Ten is less wild and much more homely, warm, and kind.
I’d been wanting to try Ten for years. I love vintage leathers and imagined something severe, damp, and almost sacred. Wrong. Ten is a very wearable leather, caked with spicy carnation and ambered vanillas, common for its time. Absolutely unisex. Upon trying it, I thought, ‘Guerlain?’ It smells exactly like that. No barnyard or harness leather, but a tamed leather, a close relative of Shalimar in its early days: masculine, resin-free, less vampy. If Guerlain is unisex, so is this. The James Dean legend and sober bottle might hide its feminine side. It doesn’t smell like gutsy, smoky leather, but rather handled, super-spicy, floral, with that 1930s heliotrope vanilla. It doesn’t feel archaic or like an antique. I didn’t detect the strawberry or raspberry note exactly, but rather a refreshing, acidic accord half an hour in, like smoked cherry and citrus, perhaps from the blend of cinnamon, jasmine, and eugenol. After the opening fades, it stops resembling Shalimar and reminds me of Old Spice, Tabac, or Bois d’Orient. Key, palpable in all three, with that hazy acidity of the 30s. A cozy, tender, and spicy leather. You’ll like it if you love the spiced woods of the 30s; if you’re looking for wild, untamed leather, this isn’t it. Compared to Gres Cabochard, this is much more homey and friendly.
Fellow countrymen, living where the devil lost his poncho has its perks, maybe escaping the plague. On a mundane level, Tsu sells something called Caza Mayor at a steal, which is just Knize 10 crushed by its own decay. Setting that aside, Knize 10 smells like iso-butyl quinoline, something chemical: the scent of leather in a cobbler’s shop or saddlery, without the polish. The trick is that over time, it eventually smells of white flowers, in this case, feminine leathers. The masculine versions stay in the leather. Does it smell good? No, it smells of past times, but not the ‘how pretty’ kind, rather the ‘glad they’re gone’ kind. For leathers, there are more current options. Dior Homme seems like an update of potions like Knize: iso-butyl quinoline with a bit of Mugler’s A Men.
Fellow countrymen! Living where the devil lost his poncho has its advantages; maybe we escaped the plague. Tsu sells something called Caza Mayor at a ridiculous price, which is essentially Knize 10 crushed by its own decadence. Setting that aside, Knize 10 smells like iso eugenol: chemical, like leather in a shoe store without any balm. The charm is that over time it turns into white flowers and feminine leathers. The masculine versions stay stuck in the leather. Does it smell good? No, it smells like the past, but the kind you’re glad has passed. For leather lovers, there are more modern options like Dior Homme, which seems like an update of Knize with iso eugenol and a bit of Mugler’s A Men.
To approach this perfume, you have to let go of your prejudices. I thought it would be a Bengal tiger, but it’s actually a cute Persian kitten purring on your skin. The opening is indeed rough and abrupt, with powerful leather and animal notes that are a bit scary. But soon a floral bouquet arrives to balance everything, followed by vanilla. That’s where you feel its century-plus history. I’m not sure if it’s the rose or the iris, but that’s the proof of its old-school roots. I find it unisex and wearable today, especially for those over 35. It doesn’t smell like iso eugenol like Tuscan Leather; it’s more akin to Cuir 17500 or Cuir de Russie. I’d love to try the Golden Edition to see the differences. Personally, I feel it could have more punch; it’s a very light EDT.
I smelled it for the first time and felt like I stepped into a time tunnel. It smells old, like another era—very much a 70s, 80s, or 90s Shalimar. If I enjoy vintage scents like Kouros or Antaeus, this is ultra-vintage; it’s perfect for understanding how leathers smelled back in the day, but that’s about it. I admit it’s addictive, but I wouldn’t wear it myself.
A complex fragrance with many facets, good sillage, and a lasting, evolving scent. Pleasant for formal occasions. The notes that stand out most are leather, citrus, woods, and very subtle animal nuances. The flowers feel smoky. Recommended to try before buying.

A classic in every sense. A fragrant with history, created in 1924 and widely recognized as one of the best leathers. The current version is frankly good and fairly priced. The opening is intense with citrus and herbaceous notes, perhaps with a Mediterranean touch of rosemary. The development is quick, revealing an aged, worn, and slightly smoky leather. I detect flowers and base woods, but always under the leather’s wing. Masculine, with polished roughness, lacking the excessive cleanliness of modern leathers. It might not appeal to everyone due to its retro vibe, but it’s ideal for sober men: whiskey-only drinkers who fix motorcycles or do carpentry without pretense, who cook without fuss, and wear boots with the same swagger as flip-flops. Men of simple seriousness. Decent projection and longevity. Worth trying.
A classic in every sense, with history and highly recognized. One of the best leather formulations, created in 1924. The current version is frankly good and worth the price. The opening is intense with citrus and seasoned herbs, perhaps with Mediterranean nuances of rosemary. The development moves quickly to an aged, worn, and smoky leather, with flowers and woods underneath. It’s masculine, with polished roughness, far from the clean leather of modern times. It harks back to bygone values, ideal for sober men: whiskey-only drinkers, mechanics, carpenters, those who cook without fuss and wear boots with the same prestige as flip-flops. For men of simple seriousness. Projection and longevity are decent, worth trying.
It’s a fragrance from another era, a privilege to still savor it even though it’s been reformulated and tamed today. It radiates unparalleled depth and aura in the current landscape. It’s a special leather-chypre, outside the norm, with a soft, leathery, amber, and balsamic base. It feels smoky, herbal, dry, and woody; what better synonym for rough masculinity? It starts with pitch-leather and citrus, with hints of vanilla and amber, but the smoky, rubbery leather dominates everything. Its floral and soft nature after a threatening opening is a surprise. Excellent for classic collections, available in various sizes. Worth it? Depends on your attitude; don’t buy blindly.
If you feel like William Holden in ‘Sunset Boulevard,’ this is for you. What an incredible classic, an impressive treat that smells like pure glory. It’s soft yet powerful, floral and elegant. It deserves all the excellent reviews; it’s evocative and melancholic, energetic but at a distance, without being overwhelming. It conveys that commanding gaze and presence that demands respect. An undisputed jewel that you notice without being aggressive. You won’t regret buying it.
Knize Ten is a timeless classic that blends elegance with character. It opens with vibrant citrus notes like bergamot, orange, and Amalfi lemon, accented by green geranium and rosemary—perfect for starting the day with energy. The heart adds depth with spicy cloves, earthy patchouli, sandalwood, Virginia cedar, and a floral touch of rose and lily. The base is warm and sensual: leather, castoreum, oakmoss, and amber, softened by musk and vanilla. It’s perfect for anyone seeking personality and classic elegance for any occasion.
