About Manhattan Leather
Manhattan Leather - The Essence of Urban Sophistication
Midnight in the city. The streets gleam with rain, headlights streak across dark glass, and somewhere in the distance a door opens to a world of smoke, whiskey, and whispered ambition. Manhattan Leather is that world distilled into a single, unforgettable scent.
The opening is bold and unconventional: aromatic basil and the cool wisdom of sage create a herbal sharpness, while jasmine lends an unexpected floral richness and dark resins add an immediate sense of gravitas.
At the heart, the fragrance reveals its true character. Supple leather and deep woody notes form a powerful, masculine core, softened by the powdery elegance of violet and threaded with the smoky mysticism of incense. It is a combination that feels like a bespoke suit worn with effortless authority.
The base is where Manhattan Leather becomes legendary. Warm, golden amber meets the sacred smoke of olibanum, while oud brings its dark, animalic depth, a foundation so rich and commanding it lingers in every room long after you have left.
Manhattan Leather. For the man who owns the night.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Manhattan Leather last?
Manhattan Leather typically lasts over eight hours on skin. For best results, apply to pulse points — wrists, neck, and behind the ears — on moisturised skin. Applying to dry skin or over clothing can reduce longevity slightly.
How should I store and apply Manhattan Leather?
Store Manhattan Leather in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight and heat — a drawer or cupboard works better than a bathroom shelf. Apply to pulse points on clean, moisturised skin. Avoid rubbing the fragrance in after spraying, as this can break down the top notes prematurely.
Is Manhattan Leather suitable for sensitive skin?
Manhattan Leather is formulated with high-quality ingredients and is designed for skin application. If you have sensitive skin or known fragrance sensitivities, we recommend a patch test on a small area of skin before full use. Discontinue use if any irritation occurs.
What are your shipping and return policies?
We offer free standard shipping on all orders over $150. Orders are typically processed within one business day and delivered within 5–7 business days. If you're not fully satisfied, you can return or exchange any unopened, unused product in its original packaging within 20 days of delivery. See our full policy page for details.
Do you offer gift wrapping or personalised messages?
Yes — gift wrapping and personalised messages are available at checkout. It's a straightforward option to add a personal touch without extra hassle.
Are your fragrances cruelty-free?
Yes. Our fragrances are cruelty-free, and we use recyclable materials in our packaging wherever possible. We select supply chain partners based on their commitment to ethical labour practices and environmental responsibility.
Do you offer discounts for bulk or gift purchases?
We do offer pricing for larger orders. Contact our customer service team directly for information on bulk purchase options.
How to Layer Manhattan Leather with Flowering Youth
Combining a leather fragrance with a floral one is a classic layering technique — each family brings something the other lacks, and the result on skin is more complex than either worn alone. Manhattan Leather and Flowering Youth are selected by our scent team as a pairing with strong complementary notes.
How to layer them: Start with Flowering Youth as your base — apply it first to pulse points (wrists, neck, behind the ears) and allow 30–60 seconds for it to settle. Then layer Manhattan Leather on top. The musk base of Flowering Youth anchors the composition, while the basil opening of Manhattan Leather lifts the blend and adds character on top.
Pair Manhattan Leather with
Flowering Youth.
The basil character of Manhattan Leather adds an
unexpected contrast against the musk base of
Flowering Youth — leather pairings are bold by nature and best worn for
evenings or occasions where you want the scent to make an impression.
