The story behind the bottle.
Leather Shot by Olfactive Studio, launched in 2018 and crafted by perfumer Bertrand Duchaufour, is an unisex fragrance that marries the rugged warmth of leather with a complex array of woody and spicy notes. The composition opens with cardamom and cumin, adding a fresh spiciness to the bitter orange and black tea top notes. As it settles into a base of sandalwood, driftwood, cedar, and vetiver, Leather Shot reveals its depth through an intricate blend of powdery iris and animalic undertones, creating a scent that is both earthy and refined.
Apply one or two sprays to your pulse points; the fresh spicy notes will fade within an hour, allowing the warm leather and woody base to take center stage. This fragrance reads best close to skin rather than in open space.

“The art of perfumery must be at the same time, innovative, harmonius, and “sent bon”.”
