He knows what he wants and how to get it. This self-confidence gives him a quiet strength that commands respect and admiration.Each fragrance of the Davidoff Blend Collection will be conceived around a carefully chosen note, illustrating a facet of Davidoff’s sophisticated world. The first opus celebrates leather.

This spicy oriental fragrance is based on a rich alchemy of complementary scents.At the heart of Davidoff Leather Blend, resounds a sensual chord of rose and amber. The rose narguile note gives the fragrance a sense of warmth and voluptuousness while amber adds a seductive oriental overtone.

Warm, musky and highly desirable, it brings an unashamedly masculine dimension.Davidoff Leather Blend comes in a luxurious container. The heavy glass flacon sports a rich translucent orange-brown hue. An elegant groove runs along the side of the bottle, adding to the distinction of its figure. The name of the fragrance is branded on a polished metallic sheet and Zino Davidoff’s logo, a stylish double D icon, appears on top of the solid cap. An embossed golden tag and monogram adorn the refined and very masculine matching brown carton that retains the sophistication of the enclosed flask.Davidoff Leather Blend’s uncompromising aesthetic is a token of the fragrance’s elegance.
