Leather and smoky fragrance is the most considered wing of niche perfumery, the register built on birch tar, suede, isobutyl quinoline, smoke and resin. The wing reads heaviest of the families and rewards wearers who let a fragrance settle on skin for an hour before judging it, because the leather dry-down is usually where the composition reveals itself.

Spirit of Dubai Meydan for the leather-tobacco oud, Spirit of Kings Aludra for the smoky-leather and oud, Montale Black Aoud for the rose-oud-leather. Heavy sillage, twelve-plus hours on the extraits, mostly unisex despite the masculine framing on some bottles. Khrisha's leather and smoky edit spans Spirit of Dubai, Spirit of Kings, Montale, Mancera and Casamorati.
