Floris Leather Oud Eau de Parfum 50ml is a richly oriental unisex composition from London's oldest independent perfume house, launched in 2014 as part of the Private Collection. Leather and bergamot open the bottle on a sharp lift of new-leather freshness, agarwood (oud), geranium, carnation and patchouli build a warm, slightly spicy heart, and a base of oud, woody notes, amber and vetiver gives the composition deep, second-skin sensuality.
About Floris
Floris London was founded in 1730 by Juan Famenias Floris and his wife Elizabeth, and remains family-owned and based at the same address — 89 Jermyn Street, in the heart of St James's — almost three centuries later. The house holds Royal Warrants of appointment as Perfumer to the British Royal Family, and its fragrance archive includes scents created for figures from Florence Nightingale to King Edward VII. The Private Collection extends the brand's heritage into more modern, niche-style territory.

The story behind Leather Oud
Floris's Private Collection brings the freshness of new leather alongside the smoky-resinous character of oud — a contrast that gives the fragrance a kind of "well-worn library" elegance. The geranium and carnation in the heart add a soft, slightly spicy floral note that keeps the composition refined rather than purely smoky. Glowing modern amber and dry-woody base notes complete the harmony for serious longevity.
Who it's for
For experienced fragrance lovers who appreciate refined niche-style oud and leather perfumery — natural territory for fans of Tom Ford Oud Wood, Maison Francis Kurkdjian Oud Satin Mood or Frédéric Malle Promise. Genuinely unisex thanks to the leather-and-amber drydown. Decisively an autumn-and-winter, evening-and-formal scent, and a strong choice for those who appreciate the British perfumery tradition with a contemporary twist.
How to wear it
Spray sparingly onto pulse points — wrists, neck and the base of the throat — from around 15 cm away, and add one mist to clothing for a longer trail. As an Eau de Parfum from a heritage house known for high-quality concentrations, expect strong projection in the first one to two hours and a deep, smoky-leathery skin scent that lingers ten hours or more. Apply moderately at first; this is a fragrance that builds.
