Think You Don't Like the Smell of Leather? These Perfumes Will Change Your Mind

For as long as I can remember, I've always been drawn toward fragrances whose brands have created lore or a character. Finding the ones that not only leave me feeling inspired to embrace new and possibly bolder or edgier sides of me is where it all starts. For now, I'm furloughing my dedication to fresh-smelling powdery florals and diving into a fragrance note that comes with warmth, depth, and a whole lot of mystery: leather. Leaning into your comfort fragrances may feel familiar and friendly, but why not embrace (or at least shake hands with) the edgy version of you a perfume can bring out?

In true beauty editor fashion, I've sifted through hundreds of fragrances to identify the seven best leather perfumes that money can buy. From a unique and vibrant olfactory experience that transports you to the rolling hills of the more rustic wild West to dive bars off Route 66, I promise there's a fragrance here for everyone. If that sparks your interest as much as it did mine, keep scrolling to find your perfume match.
