Leather Oud

Notes & Nuances

Leather Oud by Fragrance World aims for Dior's beast, and gets... close. The opening bergamot is fleeting, quickly overtaken by a spicy cardamom-clove mix. It lacks the refinement of the original; there's a definite synthetic edge. The geranium is a whisper. The heart is where it diverges; it's spicier and less balanced. The drydown is where this clone shines, somewhat. The leather note is prominent, paired with a smoky oud. It's not bad, but lacks the complexity and depth of the Dior. I'd peg this as a 84% resemblance.

Conclusion

This is a solid budget option if you crave the leather-oud combo of Dior but can't justify the price tag. The synthetic feel is undeniable, especially in the opening, but it smooths out with time. If you need spot-on accuracy and supreme quality, then maybe. But for everyday wear, Leather Oud by Fragrance World offers a satisfying experience . Recommended for those prioritizing value over perfection.

The Performance Stats

Performance is decent . I get about 6-7 hours on skin with moderate projection for the first two hours, then it settles closer. On clothing, longevity extends to 8-9 hours. It projects a noticeable scent bubble initially, nothing crazy, but present.
