Matiere Premiere Falcon Leather EDP

Description

Falcon Leather reimagines a falconer's glove as a fragrance: Aurélien Guichard builds a vegetal leather accord from birch tar, intensified with saffron and softened by labdanum and benzoin, with real agarwood grounding the base. Reviewers who like Tom Ford's Tuscan Leather for its rugged intensity often compare notes here, though Falcon Leather stays drier and smokier rather than fruity-sweet.

How It Differs From the Extrait

• Falcon Leather EDP (this bottle). The original 2019 release: a rugged, vegetal leather built on birch tar and saffron, with real agarwood already in the base.
• Falcon Leather Extrait: the 2024 concentrated edition, enriched with a rare Oud Assafi oil from Bangladesh as a guest ingredient. Darker, smoother, and more rounded, with stronger longevity and projection.
• Choose the EDP for a rougher-edged, everyday leather; the Extrait for a richer, more polished evening version.

Scent Character

• Woody: 40%
• Oud: 20%
• Spicy: 20%
• Sweet: 20%

Translation: a woody-leather composition anchored by real agarwood, with saffron spice, birch-tar smoke, and balsamic sweetness in equal support.
