Leather Essence Ferrari, that first saw the light of day in 2013, is marketed as a masculine fragrance, drawing from the leather family. The talent of Alexandra Carlin is written all over this bottle. From the Ferrari Essence collection; released as eau de parfum.
Expect a moderate sillage — enough to be remembered, not enough to overwhelm. Expect high longevity: it stays close to the skin for hours. The home of this fragrance is Italy. A rich, layered composition that reveals itself differently depending on your mood and the time of day.
The fragrance is highly persistent and lasts on the skin for up to 8–10 hours, gradually revealing its notes and allowing you to enjoy the full bouquet throughout the day
It can be felt in close proximity, but does not attract the attention of those around you
The perfume has a rich aroma that will help you stand out from the crowd and create a memorable image
A rich and elegant fragrance that gently unfolds on the skin and lasts most of the day, leaving a delicate trail
Perfumes for the fall and winter seasons often contain notes of vanilla, spices, ambergris, wood, and other warm accords, creating a feeling of comfort and warmth during the cold months
The composition of Leather Essence is shaped as a layered story, where notes flow without rush and without gaps. The creative approach of Ferrari is evident in details that define the fragrance identity. Nothing here feels random, and the fragrance holds its character from opening to trail. Eau de parfum supports the right density and pace of development.
From the group perspective the structure relies on Citrus, Floral, Spicy and Leather. The framework further includes Wood and Gourmet.
At the opening of the pyramid you sense radiant lemon-bergamot top notes: Bergamot, Bitter Orange and Clove.
When the opening settles you detect Cinnamon, Leather accord and Tonka bean carrying a spicy-aromatic direction.
The internal accord map rests on these accords: Citrus, Gourmet, Floral and Wood without random overlap. Additional accords such as Leather and Spicy enrich the profile without taking over. The stylistic positioning is masculine, which sharpens how the fragrance is perceived. For persistence High indicates a stable lasting impression.
Taken together Leather Essence reads as a cohesive composition — the start forms character, the middle layer carries the identity, while the drydown anchors the memory. These are the scent structures best understood in wear.
