Vintage Leather by West Third Brand

Moss, Tobacco, Cedar, Leather, Patchouli, Musk.

Vintage Leather by West Third Brand is truly all about Leather. The opening spray greets you to leather accentuated by tobacco ( surprise, surprise !!! ). The extended drydown avails the wearer a supple, Aramis facsimile and whatever assists come from the other listed notes are merely props in the leather play.

I suppose the most surprising quality Vintage Leather afforded me with was its longevity. From the initial spray, it didn't possess that recognizable tenacity I normally get from a scent that has serious hang time. However, Vintage Leather did not care about my opinion and decided to hang around all day after 3 spritzes.

If there is a downside to this release, it's because it's a one-trick pony. To Darwin's dismay, there will be no evolution in aroma or accords. It simply is what it is and what you smell coming out of the bottle is what you'll enjoy in the drydown; albeit at a much lower volume and projection. It's in the base and extended drydown that the pale ghost of Aramis lifts the veil.

Do I like it? Uh......yes I do. This isn't only very wearable, but versatile and in spite of leaning masculine, I believe this can be pulled off by the female persuasion ( should they want to). This has substance once applied, but not the projection to be a room clearer or anything close to that. It's stays phat while hugging your personal space.

Sillage is moderate with longevity approximately 8 hours on my skin before reapplication. Thumbs up from Aromi for Vintage Leather by West Third Brand. As always, a sample wear is recommended.
