Noble Leather

The quiet intimacy of a well-worn leather sofa in a dimly lit room — where the scent of tanned leathers and candied fruits blend, creating an atmosphere that is both raw and refined.

The story behind the bottle.

Scentsation editorial

Noble Leather by Yves Saint Laurent was launched in 2013 and is a fragrance that embodies the potent and deep scent of leather. Created by perfumer Julie Massé, this unisex scent combines an ambery wood accord with vanilla and patchouli, while intermingling tanned leathers and bright saffron notes. The candied sweetness of dried fruits softens the carnal sensuality, making it a skin-deep fragrance that leaves an unforgettable impression.

How to wear it

Apply two sprays to your pulse points for best effect. The fragrance blooms gradually over time, with the leather notes becoming more prominent as the day progresses. It pairs well with a light jacket or sweater in cooler weather.
