EDITORIAL“Pierre Guillaume Leathermore: Suede Steeped in Green Sap”
Leathermore opens with an unexpected splash of watery green energy. Instead of the dark, petrol-like leather notes that dominate the niche market, perfumer Pierre Guillaume introduces a bright, tart rhubarb note paired with fizzy ginger and pink pepper. This sparkling start is quickly joined by a dry, green sap accord that smells like crushed leaves and damp wood. Cardamom adds a cool, herbal spice that keeps the opening feeling airy and clean.
As the fragrance settles into its heart, the texture shifts from watery to slightly powdery. Mimosa and black locust provide a sheer, honeyed floral breeze that softens the blend. The leather note here is clean and polite, resembling a new luxury suede jacket rather than a rugged saddle. Cumin emerges during this phase, adding a warm, human element that keeps the florals from smelling too sweet or soapy.
The dry-down is a quiet, woody affair that hugs the skin closely. Guaiac wood and sweet chestnut create a slightly nutty, dry base, while a clean musk sweeps away any remaining animalic edges. A faint trail of incense lingers in the background, adding just enough depth to keep the wood notes from fading into simple clean laundry smells. It is a highly smooth transition that showcases Guillaume's talent for blending.
In terms of performance, Leathermore is a gentle companion. It projects moderately for the first two hours before settling into a soft skin scent. Total longevity on skin averages about five hours, though it lasts longer when sprayed onto clothing. This moderate projection makes it an excellent choice for daytime wear in spring and autumn, particularly on overcast, humid days when the green notes seem to bloom.
This fragrance suits anyone who appreciates wood and leather notes but dislikes heavy, sweet, or smoky compositions. It is easy to wear to the office or for casual weekend errands. While traditionalists looking for a heavy leather might find it too sheer, its quiet sophistication makes it a great entry point into the genre for those who prefer fresh, green scents.
Ultimately, Leathermore succeeds as an artistic variation on a familiar theme. It swaps out the heavy, dark codes of leather perfumery for a light, vegetal alternative. It is not a powerhouse scent, but its unique blend of rhubarb, cumin, and soft suede makes it a compelling option for those who want to stand out quietly.
FAQs
What does Leathermore smell like?+
It smells like green vegetal sap poured over fresh suede. The opening pops with tart rhubarb, spicy ginger, and cardamom, creating an airy, aqueous texture. As it settles, cumin adds a warm skin-like quality, while guaiac wood, light incense, and clean musk keep the dry-down smooth and woody rather than heavy or smoky.
Does Leathermore smell like traditional leather?+
No, it departs from typical birch tar or heavy animalic notes. It focuses on a concept called vegetal leather, inspired by hides tanned with oak and chestnut. The result is a damp, forest-like greenness mixed with soft suede, rather than the dark, smoky, or petrol-like aroma found in traditional leather scents.
How long does Leathermore last on skin?+
On skin, you can expect between four to six hours of wear. The spicy cardamom and bright ginger top notes project well for the first hour, but the scent dries down relatively quickly into a soft, woody musk. Spraying on clothes helps the guaiac wood and incense notes linger longer.
What is the sillage and projection of Leathermore?+
It projects moderately within arm's length for the first ninety minutes. It does not fill a room, which makes it safe for office wear. After two hours, it hugs the skin closely, leaving a subtle trail of clean musk and warm cumin that others will only notice nearby.
What season is Leathermore best suited for?+
The damp, green quality of the sap accord makes it ideal for cool spring days and crisp autumn mornings. It shines in rainy weather when the humidity pulls out the earthy oak and chestnut accords, while the ginger and pink pepper cut through the damp air beautifully.
For which occasions should I wear Leathermore?+
This is a versatile daytime scent. It is casual enough for weekend walks in a light jacket, yet interesting enough for professional settings. The clean, woody dry-down feels refined but never stuffy, making it a great choice for brunch, gallery visits, or casual office environments.
Is Leathermore masculine or feminine?+
It is truly unisex. The opening has a bright, floral sweetness from mimosa and black locust that appeals to those who like lighter scents. Meanwhile, the dry-down leans into cumin, guaiac wood, and dry leather, offering a woody warmth that suits traditional masculine preferences.
What age group is Leathermore for?+
It is best suited for fragrance enthusiasts who appreciate creative, non-traditional compositions. While beginners can easily wear its clean musk base, the vegetal green opening and cumin spice note will appeal most to collectors who are tired of sweet designer releases.
Can I layer Leathermore with other fragrances?+
Yes, it layers beautifully. You can spray it over a simple citrus cologne to boost the ginger and rhubarb top notes for summer. Alternatively, layering it under a rich amber or vanilla fragrance coaxes out the warmer, spicier side of the cardamom and chestnut base.
How does it compare to other Pierre Guillaume leather scents?+
Unlike the smoky, dark birch tar in Cuir Venenum, Leathermore is sheer, green, and watery. It trades heavy animalic notes for clean musks and green sap. If you find most leather fragrances too thick or suffocating, this sheer, airy alternative will be a pleasant surprise.
