  I’m wearing it right now and it doesn’t have a shred of Tuscan Leather, as I read in English forums. Fresh citrus opening that quickly blends with a suede distinct from classic leather and a fine oud, but with a ‘plasticky’ rubber smell that I find almost unpleasant. It’s not a heavy or resinous oud (which I hate), but that note ruins the perfume for me. I’m not the best tester because, with few exceptions, I don’t like leather or oud notes, and this is no exception. It’s a fresh review in the style of Atelier Cologne, but the truth is I didn’t like it at all. Thumbs down for me.

  The opening has a very marked oud with suede, and I don’t detect any citrus at all. Then comes a burst of raspberry. In the dry down, the oud recedes and the suede stands out more. Also, I smell the birch a lot with that woody background mixed with the raspberry; I suppose the jasmine and vanilla help create that effect. In the end, it leaves a soft suede with a vanilla base, especially in the last hours. I see it as unisex: the oud, suede, and birch give the masculine touch, while the jasmine and vanilla add the feminine. I’d keep it for colder climates or maybe spring. The performance is good, it lasts a long time, and the projection is acceptable. I liked it, although it’s not a masterpiece or very original because it’s a blatant clone, but it smells good and natural. The only downside is that it costs almost as much as the original, and for that, maybe it’s better to just buy the original.

  Opening with a very marked oud mixed with suede, without finding the citrus anywhere. Quickly comes a raspberry burst. In the dry down the oud recedes and the suede stands out, along with a woody birch background that, I suppose, blends with jasmine and vanilla. In the end, it leaves a soft suede with vanilla. It smells like vanilla in the last hours. I see it as unisex: the oud, suede, and birch give a masculine touch, while jasmine and vanilla add the feminine. Ideal for cold climates or spring. Good performance, excellent longevity, and acceptable projection. I liked it, although it’s not a masterpiece or original, since it’s a blatant clone; but it smells good and natural.

  I love it. Citrus opening but slightly sweet and woody. The suede is noticeable right away. I think I smell some violet leaves that aren’t in the pyramid, and some jasmine. I notice a slight smoky touch which I suppose is the birch. The oud fits perfectly with the rest of the notes. Versatile, for autumn, winter, and spring, both day and night. Long-lasting longevity and moderate trail.

  Smells great! Starts with citrus but with a sweet and woody touch that lets the suede come through instantly. I think I detect violet leaves and a bit of jasmine, things not listed in the pyramid. I also notice a slight smoky touch, surely from the birch. The oud integrates perfectly with the rest. It’s super versatile, ideal for autumn, winter, and spring, both day and night. Longevity is long and the trail is moderate.

  Unlike Drakecito, I see a fairly obvious resemblance to Tuscan Leather here. This Oud Saphir has a much more evident, fresher, and lighter initial raspberry note. For me, it’s hard to detect the oud; it gets overshadowed by the leather and that omnipresent raspberry. The leather has body thanks to the spices but doesn’t weigh it down. There’s some woody undertone in the background that gives it a boost. The performance is very good, lasting 8 hours without issues and with decent projection for 3 hours. If TF made a female Tuscan Leather, this would be it.

  I have a decant of this perfume and it’s a marvel: lots of suede and I sense a raspberry note, which made me think of Tuscan Leather. I came here because I didn’t remember having that note, and indeed it’s not listed at least on this website, but I was relieved to see that many people find it very similar to TL. A delicious perfume with good performance. 9/10.

  I have a decant and it’s a marvel: lots of suede and a raspberry note that reminds me of Tuscan Leather. I came here because I didn’t remember having that note, and indeed it’s not listed, but it’s reassuring to see so many people find it very similar. A delicious perfume with good performance. 9/10
