  Like with Stilla from the same brand, Sadel has two very distinct phases: the opening and the dry down. At first, it smells of raw leather and tobacco; the leather is animalic and the tobacco adds roughness and dryness. The sweet notes are there but very in the background. Gradually, the tobacco fades and the gourmand notes take over, blending with the leather. The leather loses its rawness as vanilla and caramel assert themselves. It enters a second phase where the leather and tobacco have blurred out, leaving only the sweet notes. It smells like toasted, caramelized vanilla. At times, it reminds me of Werther’s Toffe candies, and that’s what lasts until the end. Performance is good for the first two hours with decent longevity. I see it as unisex, though the opening is more masculine and it’s better for cold climates. Personally, it hasn’t won me over. It’s original but the scent doesn’t convince me; it has a weird, rough, and forced opening, and I just don’t like this type of leather. Maybe it works better on other skin. I recommend trying it for leather or gourmand lovers, but it might end up being a compromise between the two. High price.

  Just tried this fragrance and I’m instantly in love. It’s sweet yet masculine, blending caramel, vanilla, leather, and tobacco, but unlike Spicebomb or Tobacco Vanille—it’s in a completely different league. It has a medicinal, animalic, rare vibe with a fresh, minty, or eucalyptus twist, unlike anything I’ve tried before. Yes, the brand is pricey (€100 for 30ml), but it’s the first one that truly clicks for me, and I’d save up just to add it to my collection. Scent: 9. Longevity: 8. Sillage: 7. Value: 5. Versatility: 7. Overall: 8.

  Like with Stilla from the same brand, Sadel has two very distinct phases: the opening and the dry down. At first, it smells of raw leather and tobacco—the leather is primal with an animal touch, and the tobacco adds grit and dryness. The sweet notes are there but very muted. Gradually, the tobacco fades and the gourmand notes take over, blending with the leather. The rawness disappears as vanilla and caramel dominate. In the second phase, the leather and tobacco blur away, leaving only the sweet notes. It smells like toasted, caramelized vanilla. At times, it reminds me of Werther’s Toffe candies, which is what lingers until the end. Performance is good for the first two hours, and longevity is decent. I see it as unisex, though the opening is more masculine and suited for cold weather. Personally, it hasn’t won me over. It’s original, but the scent doesn’t convince me; it has a weird, harsh, forced opening, and I just don’t like this type of leather. Maybe it works better on other skin. I recommend trying it if you love leather or gourmand scents, but it might end up being a compromise between the two. High price tag.

  I just tried this fragrance and I’m in love. It’s sweet and masculine, with that mix of caramel, vanilla, leather, and tobacco, but not like Spicebomb or Tobacco Vanille, rather on a totally different line. It’s medicinal, animalic, rare, with a fresh, mentholated, or eucalyptus-like twist, different from anything I’ve tried before. Yes, perfumes from this brand are expensive (€100 for 30ml), but it’s the first one I’ve tried that I actually like and one I’d save up to include in my collection. Scent: 9. Longevity: 8. Sillage: 7. Value: 5. Versatility: 7. Overall: 8.

  The scent is interesting because it’s an uncommon leather; it’s not the typical tobacco-leather combo but has a strong sweetness that softens its darkness. The problem is the projection is almost non-existent and the longevity is poor. To make it work, I guess you’d have to drench yourself, and honestly, the price isn’t worth that effort. It’s baffling to see 30% of votes for ‘heavy sillage’; the version I know smells like nothing in the first 5 minutes. It lasts on the skin for just 2 or 3 hours. I only vote ‘heavy sillage’ for real bombs that last 10-12+ hours and can be smelled without clogging your nose. This doesn’t even come close.
