Side by side
Comparing the originals — price, breadth, listed-note depth.
Cardamom and a whisper of raspberry push through the opening — sharp and slightly sweet, then gone fast. Within minutes, the leather takes over: dry, smooth, and slightly smoky, anchored by jasmine that adds a faintly animalic warmth rather than anything floral. Patchouli and amber deepen the dry-down into something earthy and resinous without going powdery. Projection is commanding in the first few hours before settling into a close, skin-warming sillage that lasts well. — Built for cold weather and confident wearers who want leather that actually smells like leather.
Jasmine leads hard from the first spray — dense, almost animalic, edged with ylang ylang's creamy banana-floral weight and a bright neroli-mandarin citrus that softens the opening without lightening it. The heart is uncompromising: this is jasmine as a statement, not a suggestion. As it settles, amber and immortelle pull things warm and slightly herbal-honeyed, while leather adds a dry, skin-close rasp to the dry-down. Projection is assertive without being nuclear; sillage lingers richly for hours. — Cold-weather evenings, worn by someone who wants to be noticed before they enter the room.

The remaining notes (3 unique to Ombré Leather, 4 unique to Jasmin Rouge) are where the divergence happens.
