Gentlemen… this is a good clone of Tuscan Leather though not as good as Rasasi’s La Yuqawam. What does it smell like? Real and natural leather as if you were inside a new shoe or a belt with a touch of raspberry that doesn’t feel entirely natural. Unlike the original here the raspberry is more prominent and I detect a powdery note. Duration of about 6 hours need to reapply but it projects and leaves a trail. For under $30 it’s a very good investment. By the way the bottle isn’t the one in the photo: it’s black with a silver cap in the style of Xerjoff. Cheers to all.

Guys this is a decent clone of Tuscan Leather though it doesn’t quite reach the level of Rasasi’s La Yuqawam. It smells of real natural leather as if you were inside a new shoe or a belt but with a raspberry note that doesn’t sound entirely natural. Unlike the original here the raspberry is more prominent and I detect a powdery nuance. It lasts about 6 hours so you need to reapply but it projects well and leaves a trail. What more could you want for under $30? It’s a very good investment. By the way the bottle isn’t the one in the photo; please update it—it’s black with a silver cap in the style of Xerjoff. Cheers.

Hello I just bought it after reading many reviews and I find it very masculine. It opens with a rich dark cherry scent before turning heavily into leather and to be honest I wouldn’t wear it myself. I have the new black bottle (new packaging). If anyone is looking for it and wants it I’m selling it for €28 including postage. :([

Thanks to DarkBeat for sending me this perfume which turned out to be incredible and charming. It’s an aroma in the line of Tuscan Leather but less intense more wearable with a powdery touch that gives it softness so it doesn’t overwhelm plus a hint of sweetness. At first the intensity seemed low but after half an hour it started to gain strength and projected moderately but with very good longevity. The total duration is about 9 or 10 hours but on clothes it’s still perceptible after 24 hours. I couldn’t have imagined it being so good. Other perfumes have more fanfare and fall short. Thanks DarkBeat.

The notes match 100% with those of Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather but this is a reinterpretation fresher and lighter without being a diluted original. It highlights the incense thyme and raspberry softening the leather and suede to make it more wearable without betraying its identity. I think Nabeel wanted to make a youthful and versatile version an easy-to-wear flanker. Honestly I liked it more than the original because I use it more frequently even on cool summer nights. It performs a lot: about 9 hours on skin with heavy projection for the first hour and moderate afterwards. It’s perfect for any season or time of day although in the middle of the heat better for the evening. If you like Tuscan Leather but are scared to use it daily this is your ideal candidate. Plus it’s an economical alternative to enjoy this masterpiece without spending a fortune.

The notes are identical to those of Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather but here you have a much more versatile and wearable reinterpretation. It’s not a watered-down original but an adjusted formula that puts the focus on the incense thyme and raspberry making the leather and suede more docile without losing the essence. In my view Nabeel wasn’t trying to copy but to create a youthful and light version like a flanker perfect for almost any occasion even cool summer nights. The performance is top-notch: about 9 hours on skin with strong projection at the start and moderate afterwards. It’s ideal for those who love Tuscan Leather but are scared to use it daily because of its character; here is the solution to not spend a fortune and enjoy the classic without emptying your pockets.

It smells 90% like Tom Ford’s Tuscan Leather but with a much lighter and usable leather. It’s an excellent purchase for the quality-price ratio with more than sufficient longevity and perfect projection. Ideal for everyday wear or work. Note the photo isn’t accurate: the bottle is oval with a white suede label and comes in a lovely woven case perfect for gifting.
