Reviewing the Parfum version of Ombre Leather from Tom Ford www.aaronterencehughes.co.uk Instagram - AaronTerenceHughes Music: Sleepdebt - I C U #TomFord #OmbreLeatherParfum #FragranceReview
Another fabulous review. Cogent, expressive, and knowledgeable- you make a great teacher. Thanks for helping me learn about one of my two favorite fragrances!
Got to admit Aaron, you are my go to guy for mens fragrance, thank you for the perfect break down of these fragrances in detail...every Guy has different needs from their fragrance, and as such levitate to a particular brand and stimulus their products give off. Top Man. Look forward to more from you.
It doesn’t matter what you review, I will always take time out of my day to watch. I have Ombre Leather EDP and is very easy to wear. I get a very well balanced leather/cardamom vibe from it and checks all the boxes for my personal taste. I sprayed the Parfum version on the back of my hand not too long ago and is on my birthday wish list! Cheers to you and the fantastic content you provide for us!!!
I always learn something each time I watch your videos, Aaron. Ombre Leather does seem to be the most satisfying fragrance of the moment. I agree that there's a lot of movement and this makes it very versatile in my view, especially in this current temperature. I also agree that it needs a touch more elevation and I achieve this by experimentally layering a mist of Jazz Club by Maison Martin Margiela. The raw materials seem to blend reasonably nicely for my nose.
I get super excited when you review fragrances I love or am interested in trying. You’re perspective and expertise have helped in many of my purchases. You’re definitely an asset to us normal fragrance lovers. I recently picked this up and wore it for the first time yesterday and got a compliment from a gentleman from a different crew. We were outside and he was over five feet away when he told me he liked the fragrance. So even after 6 hours it still had great push off my skin. As always great review.
I love this one. It’s slightly sweeter than the original (I think this comes from the florals) and the leather accord is gorgeous. Amazing review, thank you ATH!
I really appreciate this one. As you say, old school Tom Ford! I was wondering how you would react to this based on your recent reactions to this house! Glad you like it!
Love Aaron and his reviews and perfumes, and I especially like his attitude, which (for me) can be summed up as "not reading the rest..." . Not one to make statement based t-shirts but if I was then this would definitely be on it. Might be giving Katherine Hamnett a bell!
I just want say, I underestimated the Parfum. I tested it on a test strip at the fragrance shop. I thought it's a little airy to EDP. few days later I got a 50ml, went trigger happy thinking about the test strip. knocked me sideways. I love it!
love this review, waiting on my ATH Homme order too !! I do think, and its sad that Tom Ford diluted its value in parfums as a brand w some subpar releases, but Ombré Leather is very nice and priced well
I prefer the dry down of Ombre Leather Parfum over the first release. First you get hit with Leather and gasoline and then minutes later the florals come out! I remember falling in love with this fragrance at my local Sephora. When i first sprayed it on me it didn't make much of an impression. But once the fragrance settled on my skin i was addicted.
Dear Aaron, I am among your most devoted followers. I now purchase samples just to follow your journey and learn. You’re brilliant. I am a huge fan of Ombré Leather EDT and Tom Ford fragrances in general.. It’s dark, approaching your (charmingly admirable) ‘Filthy’ designation. In the Parfum, I cannot get past the violet leaf. Your nose is vastly beyond mine, but as a learning amateur, the violet leaf and jasmine is appallingly forward and overpowering. I cannot even pick-up the leather. Onward. Thank you for edifying me. Warm regards.
I have this one in the collection now. I liked the EDP but not enough to buy it. This one has a cotton freshness which makes it a lil more versatile and that’s made me buy it.
@@JeevanArora I've heard that in Nordic countries they have similar policies. You're not supposed to wear noticeable fragrances at work. It's considered rude and unprofessional.
Nice review. Love to watch your channel and style of perfumery for education and knowledge. I hope to see a video on your top 8 you have reviewed this year of 2021. Can you do video on cartier declaration parfum and pasha de Cartier parfum those are oriental and your taste of perfumery. Great review bro blessings absolutely fantastic
OOHHH aaron! My missus got me ombre leather for my birthday (edp) it's really lovely for the price, I've just dug it out as personally I think its a good cooler weather scent, smells lovely in conjunction with my leather bike jacket.
OMG. You are spot on as always! I just received mine, and it’s gorgeous! It’s what a man should smell like. Masculine, yet, softening tones to make the fragrance seductive, a little enigmatic but approachable. It’s a 10 for me! Yum!
Agree, bought the ombré leather Parfum today and sprayed the tester on my right shoulder while I sprayed the elixir’s tester on my left and hell yeah these two are competing and can’t choose which one is better. I smelt so expensive earlier today LMAO
These two were my entry into designer/niche fragrance world. Both fragrances are for people with matured taste. TF OL Parfum and DS Elixir are cologne juggernauts, love them!
If you like thick dense fragrances, I think you should try Triumph of Bacchus from Argos. It's got a Red Tobacco vibe but with a twist. If and when you get a chance. I love your take on fragrances. So insightful.
Thank you for your honest & detailed insights Aaron! So happy I discovered your channel earlier this year. Looking forward to sampling your work in the near future.
I bought a bottle of Ombre leather from sephoria in September but it does not say whether it is a parfum. BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, I cant imagine it getting much better... Every single time i spray it on i get either that "look" when someone smells me or an audible compliment
I consider myself as parfum aficionado…nothing serious…the first time I smell black orchid.. I was like..who in the right mind would consider to spray this on … but searching on videos I found yours..at first I was scratching my head thinking this is odd..later you say something that makes o lot of sense…people wear fragrances to please other people not themselves… and you are right…I was buying fragrances to please other people…long story short I own daring perfumes that I like and enjoy, and yes , black orchid is in my collection…thank you!!!
@@AaronTerenceHughes already marked it on my calendar 😉 btw. I just found my favorite fragrance from Initio besides Side Effect, it’s called Blessed Baraka, tbh honest Oud for Happiness was underwhelming at first, maybe I’ll get to love it later on, but it you want to review an Initio go for Rehab, Blessed Baraka or Psychedelic Love, easily the best from the house besides Side Effect🦄
I bought Ombré Leather Parfum just recently, I do agree that I wish it had just a smidge more projections, but as Aaron mentions it’s does that “Parfum” things, it doesn’t project but does produce a nice waft of silage when you move around.
Like many mentioned, I bought my 10ml a year ago at Sephora( discounted before xmas, they always discount their fragrances before xmas) . Loved the original Ombré Leather that I also have in 10ml. I can’t really tell the difference tbh but I couldn’t care less. To me I have 20ml of Ombré Leather and it is exactly how I want to smell to myself and ppl around me and/or intimately. . You mentioned at the end an ingredient that gives harshness to the fragrance and I agree that it has something harsh but in a nice way. Similar to Fahrenheit while smelling completely different beside the amber, maybe?
hey,nice review as always!!! is it true that the eau de parfum version has been reformulated and does not have as good a duration and projection as when it first came out at 2018?
Are there any clones, for the ombre leather parfum one? I also was wondering where you got all the notes from? I usually use fragrantica, but according to what you said there is way more materials in it. Great and lovely video btw!!! I really love this longlasting good parfums. Wanna know more about them.
Hi Aaron love your description of fragrances. I was wondering if you meant that the perfume concentration has a better sillage than EDP from what you said at 11:36. Also, is that a general rule of thumb, with exceptions of course, for perfume concentrations compared to EDTs and EDPs?
Brilliant man! Lots of moving hands 😅. Personally I like the EDP bit better, for me the parfum starts leather and moves and ends leather all the way through. The EDP evolves and changes and I like that. So sexy on my lady friend But really I have no idea. Just know what I like, love. Love your work!
First time when i try this perfume, i can already smell its for my skin because its fresh and nice after you spray on the skin. Every perfume has some personality for “somebody” so its not for everybody, people’s really find themselves a perfume who really suit them for who they are ☝️
I find you so interesting to listen to mate! Such in depth and wholly detailed descriptions on scents, how they work, why they work and the names of everything that makes a scent up! Fascinating, just fascinating Aaron! Keep up the good work.. so professional, too, actually! That’s what I love about your content 😎 I have both TF Ambre Leathee edp & Parfum. Personally I prefer the edp over Parfum, but the Parfum works so much better on my skin, give a flowing, silk scarf in a gentle breeze effect as I move about. Edp simply because of the memories I have associated with it, as my Mrs bought me it as a gift. Thank you 👍🏼
@@miguelcardenas2413 Not really. Both have different uses if I’m honest, and for me, I use edp for nights out as it projects way more than the Parfum (at least on my skin it does!), where as with the Parfum version I can carry this scent of throughout the day as a daily use scent as it sticks close to my skin and isn’t as big a projector as the edp (again, for me and my skin). Have you got either one?
@@78chriswhite I do own the edp one of my newest acquisitions and I have sampled the parfum twice for me the parfum is more focused on the fruity side and the edp is more on the modern sophisticated leather .
@@78chriswhitewell also building a collection for myself and I’m trying at least not to buy redundant fragrances. Im only getting one fragrance for line unless any flanker of said fragrance is really worth and no something redundant example I own Sauvage edt and I also own sauvage elixir. On the le males I own ultra male and I’m not planing into get another one of them I also own spicebomb extreme .
For me the “leather note” is more apparent in the edp - that new leather jacket smell, you know? Where as with the Parfum it’s more on the subtle side & more floral, it reminds me of Parma Violet sweets, do you get that? Also, I have quite a modest collection of fragrances that I’ve built up over several years, but I’ve whittled it down to about 60 or 70 odd at the moment as I’ve just sold several that I’m not into. Overall, though, I’m 43 years old and I’ve been obsessed with fragrances since I was at least 6! This is down to my dad and his collection of 60’s, 70’s & 80’s Mens aftershaves! Some really good one, and some [mostly cheap] like Brut, Old Spice, Insignia! The latter being his daily work frags! His “night out aftershaves” included Paco Rabanne pour homme, Calvin Klein Obsession, Ralph Lauren Polo & Aramis so you can where I got started! Like you I’ve got Sauvage edt, that’s just a dead easy to wear, daily for me when I’m at work. I’ve had a sample of the elixir, though, yet I’ve still not managed to buy it as I’ve spent so much on my latest editions! I’ve been obsessed with Tom Ford & Parfums De Marly lately! Just bought PDM Layton Exclusive and Tom Ford Grey Vetiver + Neroli Portafino Acqua and I Love Them ❤️ I also want to add PDM Percival, but not until I’ve purged a few of my older “freshies”! How do you find Sauvage Elixir works for you?
I’ve never tried the OG Ombre Leather but I bought a 10ml of the Parfum like you did and I really like it. It’s nice. Makes me want to try the original one now.
Sprayed the EDP and the Parfum 1h ago. The EDP opens with a stronger leather accord than the Parfum. The Perfum has a slightly softer and less potent leather note opening. The dry down is faster on the EDP than the Parfum. The Parfum has a less aggressive openig compared to the EDP but the dry down is more constant. The EDP dry down smells like I’m sitting in an old timer whose leather is in good condition. So the smell is more an old fashioned one. The Parfum dry down on the other hand smells way more modern. It has a warmer and wider smell. Maybe slightly powdry / woody. The EDP has a more linear smell. Lets see how it smells after 10h.
I quite liked this one too. A nice change from the original Ombre Leather EDP which smelled like beautiful leather, but not much more to me. So much more depth in the parfum. You might like the new fragrance that’s coming soon Ebene Fume - the price point is lower and it’s a lot more different evocative of the Tom Ford golden age. Wait for the 10ml to launch (I hear) at the start of December.
I bought this recently instead of the original and love the complexity of the scent, but it does not project well so its certainly one for my wife or for me to enjoy personally on my clothes for a long time, but nobody near me would know I’m wearing it, which is the shame, as I like to make an outward statement as well as enjoying it myself.
