My first niche fragrance. Bought a decant (thanks to Ash) and it was love at first sniff. Gets me compliments as well. I have 100 plus fragrances and none smell like it. Love it!
One of my fav Gerard, I can wear this more often weekly casually so that I can save sprays of my more expensive and similar scent profiles of Tauer L'DDM and A'CDD for special occasions.
I have tried it today, and you're absolutely right it doesn't smell like a leather fragrance. In contrast, I have Tom Ford Ombré Leather Parfum, now that's a leather fragrance! I think that's the best leather fragrance ever!
Funny enough I really do enjoy saffron in fragrances, and I own quite a few fragraces with pretty prominent saffron in them, but African Leather I just cannot get down with. Something about it doesn't sit well with my nose, so to speak. I do love Korres Saffron Tobacco and Saffron Spices, though. They are great saffron fragrances for anyone who may be interested in the note.
Never got this one because i like real leather like Falcon Leather. I do plan on getting a decant though. Cool review thanks for keeping it real. It’s funny in the fragrance industry where they say leather as a note and there is no leather.
I ordered a sample from scent bird, and im just now getting into the cologne game and I agree with spicey at first but it has a very sweet after tone to me so im curious as to what you'd consider a sweet scent compared to this I really love this one though so any suggestion to more colognes along the line of this scent?
If you have the money, BUY THIS!! I don't, so I bought Maison Alhambra Afro Leather after sampling the real thing. Fellas, to me, the additional $120 extra you will pay for the real thing is ABSOLUTELY NOT worth paying! Afro Leather will get you 90% there and it performs basically on par with the original! GUUD NUFF FER ME!!
I do like 2 sprays only from inches away or it’s too overwhelming to me. I bump the wrists together to spread that one spray there, and the other behind my neck. Beautiful and enough.
Hey man I just got a bottle of this and it smells a bit different and a lot less strong than the sample I got from the store, do you think that is because it was reformulated or do I just have to let it macerate for a while?
Strange profile a bit of fresh opening with spices and clean leather. It has something different and good quality , u don't smell it everyday it shows character. But is really hard to find an occasion to use it.

@@gerardgeorge, as much as I love the smell of MAL, unfortunately, it doesn't last on my skin, 4 hours max. Xerjoff Ivory Route gives me a similar vibe with a monstrous performance. I'm currently wearing XIR (1 spray on each arm) and with Fedric Malle The Night (1 spray on the chest + 1 behind the neck). I'm getting whiffs of both scents and both are projecting very well since 8am, it's 2pm now. I wish XIR came in 100ml.
Thats pretty messed up how poor it performs for you. On skin it last me 8-10h and clothing not even directly spraying on, just from rubbing off around my neck last over night or longer.
They don't smell exactly alike and I say that here. I was referring to the structure of the scent not comapring it 1:1. Watch it back that's your homework. Also scent is subjective babe.

Absolutely agree.
Alexandria II , Grand soir , Black Orchid and many more are also have a unique smell.

There you go! I have decants of the Tauer and they are very similar.

Spot on!
This scent is really good. I let mine sit for a month. It reminds me of my CH Men Prive a bit.
Good call!! It does. Another one of my favorites.
Nice review love the video G stay motivated dream big 1 mill on the way
My man thanks Antwain!

This is a great observation saffron can be VERY polarizing especially when its front and center like it is here.
African is awesome one. It's very sharp but unique. Love at the first sniff for me. Announcement ... there's 200ml bottle now.
Love it! Thanks for the info

So weird they do that hahaha!
Such a great fragrance..I just have a travel size but I only need 1 spray per use! Makes me think of Africa even though I’ve never been
So good
It's really nice, but definitely not for everyone.
You said it Danny. I hope I got that across in the vid lol.
@@gerardgeorge yup, just concurring.
Definitely will buy this because of your review!
you wont be dissapointed. Enjoy!
This smells like Rochas Moustache/ tuxedo with a more masculine vibe from the leather,cumin and oud.
Interesting I never drew the connection.
Yes I have the clone African Luxe and I love it. You are right it is very unique and addictive!
Enjoy my friend!

Enjoy the clone brotha. I haven’t smelled it yet.
Afro leather does all the things i need it to do, absolute steal at $20.
When did you purchase this and how is the performance?
A couple years ago? Performance is good.
Thank you Hunter. When you’re not selling out your country and high on coke, you do a decent fragrance review. Cheers from Canada.
Hahaha I never got that until this past year when he was jammed into everyone’s algo.
I do like 2 sprays only from inches away or it’s too overwhelming to me. I bump the wrists together to spread that one spray there, and the other behind my neck. Beautiful and enough.
Less is more here totally agree.
Bro have you ever heard of Nu Parfums Triumphant Bronze? It is a killer fragrance for super cheap
I haven't is it a clone or its own thing?
I think it’s a clone of Spicebomb but they have like 3 or 4 different flankers and they all smell good. Gold, bronze, black, silver
Hey man I just got a bottle of this and it smells a bit different and a lot less strong than the sample I got from the store, do you think that is because it was reformulated or do I just have to let it macerate for a while?
I've experienced the same thing with fragrances over the years. I don't think its a reformulation issue.
It’s really nice and daring fragrance
I agree!
I like spicy fragrance,,whenever i hungry the aroma make me full.. nice review sir.
Thank you brotha!

I think this can be worn very casual in cool weather.
How much ? In dolars ?

Awesome video Boston brother. Am moved by the Wakefield dedication and well done! I need to step up my channel game
Yea man Wake was one of the best no question.
Is it just me or its similar to xerjoff ivory route?
Very similiar good call
Damn that’s a wicked bottle agree
Yes sir!
To me, I think it does smell like Tom Ford Tuscan Leather.
Both fantastic scents.
I am trying to find Afro Leather but it's nowhere on Amazon

❤ at first sniff

Cliffs notes
How bout them apples 😎
Hahaha one of my go to movies not gonna lie.
Instead of this get Xerjoff Ivory Route - IMO
I’ve talked about it on the channel a good friend of the channel sent me a decant. I liked it.

Uh buddy I got news for ya. That ain’t no tiger 🐅 tigers got stripes man come on
Yes a Leopard. We got Jack Hanna ovaaaahhhh hereeeee!!!!!!
@@gerardgeorgei read that in sils voice, when asking meadow for the gabagool
@@20biomed08 hahahaha that’s who I was channeling!!!!
👍👍™️
Thanks Michael!
In my opinion almost every memo parfums are bad.
Wow that’s a shame you don’t like any
Comparing this with Declaration is so bad..... misleading ppl. They both have Cardamon but in totally different ways. Nowhere near each other

@@gerardgeorge They share the "structure" 😂😂😂 yeah right
