Swiss Arabian Leather and Oud Eau de Parfum
A woody amber unisex fragrance of lavender, leather, spice and oud from Swiss Arabian, best suited to cooler South African evenings.
Swiss Arabian Leather and Oud Eau de Parfum is a unisex woody amber fragrance built around lavender and citrus, with a leather, spice and oud heart and base.
What does Leather and Oud smell like?
Leather and Oud opens with traditional English lavender alongside bergamot and lemon, a fresh, slightly herbal start. The heart brings cinnamon, carnation, jasmine and coriander together with leather, giving the fragrance a spicy, tobacco-adjacent character. It settles into patchouli, cedarwood, sandalwood and amber, a warm woody base with oud forming the fragrance's signature finish.
- Top notes: Lavender, Bergamot, Lemon
- Heart notes: Cinnamon, Carnation, Jasmine, Coriander
- Base notes: Patchouli, Cedarwood, Sandalwood, Amber
Performance and when to wear it
Leather and Oud is typically long-lasting on skin, with the woody amber and oud base carrying well into the evening. Swiss Arabian describes it as ideally suited to cooler nights, and its leather-spice character does suit South African winter wear better than midsummer heat. Two sprays is a good starting point given its density.
Who is it for?
Leather and Oud suits wearers who enjoy classic leather and spice compositions with an oud finish, rather than something fresh or fruity. It is a solid pick for anyone wanting a traditional, cold-weather Arabian-style scent from Swiss Arabian, and it works equally well on men or women who favour that grounded, woody character.
