Tuscan Leather: Skin vs. Shirt

post #1 of 10

Thread Starter 
So, I've been testing Tuscan Leather the last few days, being relatively new to leather fragrances. Anyway, today I noticed that when it's on my skin, it becomes creamy, light, with hints of what seems like vanilla, whereas, when it's on my shirt, I get lots of leather and some raspberry. Now, I do still get plenty of leather when it's on my skin, but it is quite a different, more pleasing scent when I spray it on the inside of my arm instead of my shirt/neck area.

Has anyone else experienced this? I know it's not exactly uncommon for skin to change a scent a bit, but this is a pretty dramatic change for the better.

Yes. I rarely spray on my skin; TL is an exception. It smells fantastic and smooth on my skin, but like a dirty ash tray on fabric.

I have not tried with this one, but skin makes top notes evaporate faster, whereas fabric keeps all the material for much longer. So it is well possible that when you spray on skin you get more of the base notes.

It also depends a lot on skin temperature. If you spray on skin and then sweat, you smell more notes than in regular environments.

I notice strong floral notes on my skin and a strong leather note on my shirts.

I would avoid spraying on fabric because that is where I get the dirty ashtray smell from.
