The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Gold Leather by Atelier Cologne is a composition that marries the warmth of leather with the complexity of oud and rich spices. Launched in 2013, this unisex fragrance opens with notes of rum and plum, creating an initial sweetness that quickly gives way to deeper elements like saffron and bitter orange. The heart of eucalyptus and artemisia adds a herbal freshness before the base notes of leather, agarwood (oud), guaiac wood, and cedar ground it in earthy richness. This blend is characteristic of Atelier Cologne's approach to creating fragrances with lasting character.

How to wear it

Gold Leather has a strong projection and long-lasting base notes. Apply one or two sprays to pulse points for an enduring presence throughout the day. The fragrance blooms over time, so it’s best enjoyed close to skin rather than from a distance.
