I have received a sample of this through the post and have been wearing it. The scent opens with a pungent blast of leather just like a quality new leather jacket. In the background there is raspberry/Jasmine scent, after time the leather softens and the raspberry/jasmine accord come to the forefront of the fragrance. When you first smell the scent its like wow I did not expect to smell this realistic fragrance of leather like you are sitting in a brand new car with leather upholstery. Now the raspberry/jasmine accord does help to tame the leather so it does not overwhelm the senses. Eventually the leather fades and you are just left with the raspberry/jasmine scent. I like this fragrance as its very unusual and I like how they have captured the leather then mixed it with the raspberry/jasmine. Nice ---

Thanks for the review. I’m weary ordering cologne based solely on Basenotes reviews. I wouldn’t have given Tuscan Leather a second thought from their reviewers. The they mentioned Cuir De Orange by Miller Harris and Cuiron. That’s a lot of money per bottle to find out it smells like shit. I am interested in Tom’s Tobacco Vanille. [perfumedcourt.com](http://www.perfumedcourt.com) claims to sell samples of most of the high-end items but I can’t speak their integrity or if they ship to the U.K. I will soon though…better to waste $30USD than $300. JMHO. It’s so hard here in the U.S. to find an original fragrance that is appealing to the opposite sex. Cheers, Peregrine the Perfumer ---

Just one man’s opinion…but the tabacco vanilla is too sweet for me, if it had more tabacco and less vanilla it would be fantastic. ---

Stud, try the one from common scents, it is more tobacco and less vanilla but the vanilla is still there… it is very very nice… ---

Someone here (I can’t recall to give proper credit) mentioned Scent Splits. That is actually cheaper than TPC and you can get some great stuff and not break the bank. [Scent Splits](http://scentsplits.wikidot.com) It’s hard to find a single place to get the best prices, but I found testers of high end cologne for great prices on Ebay. Some sellers are in Hong Kong, others in Dubai, but you have to search to get a deal. For instance, I found Creed Bois Du Portugal 2.5oz for $89 as a tester. That is insanely cheap. I found Serge Lutens Fumiere Turque for $108 in China, free shipping. So if you really love something and it is bottleworthy, you have to work a bit, as you can easily spend twice as much on the two previous examples. If you want to test, get a split first. I am going to get a 4ml of the Tuscan Leather due to your description Tommy. If I visit the UK, I have a strong feeling I could burgle your entire cologne collection and be happy with everything I make off with. We seem to have similar tastes. ---

Lol… I think you would be very happy as I have acquired quite a few expensive frags from Creed to Tom Ford and not forgetting one from Fredrick malle. You will have to post your thoughts on Tuscan leather as it has a very good leather accord. But you do have to be ok with the raspberry/jasmine scent that runs through the composition. I personally like it but I do think it could have been toned down a bit. ---

I’ll let you know. I am ok with the rose scent of Montale Black Aoud, so I think I might have a good shot with the raspberry/jasmine. Creed, Serge Lutens, Andy Tauer, Tom Ford are all some of the big dogs of perfumiers.
