Acqua di Parma Colonia Leather Review

[@tplank216]

I love your videos. Especially the funny bits at the beginning. The only fragrance reviews that I actually laugh out loud watching. Cheers from the U.S.

[@starter-3596]

I have Colonia Leather and i’ll be honest with you... i hated it the first time i wore this perfume. But the second and third time i sprayed this scent it grew on me. I was slowly lured into the beautiful layers this perfume is made of. I can’t get enough of this perfume now. It mixes perfectly with my cigerrette smoke and creates an aroma that i absolutely love.

[@solitudeguard5688]

This is my second favourite perfume. It is an absolutely stunning concoction of woody and strong sophisticated notes. Beautiful.

[@A7mad.]

whats ur first ?

[@solitudeguard5688]

@@A7mad. my first is Tom Ford Noir Extreme. Something about it drives me wild. How about you?

[@sergiodavalos591]

Great review mr smelly. This is an amazing fragance. I have also Tuscan leather and love both.

[@omarmiz]

Yoooo. Can you review Ambra? And is there a difference between the Black & Brown bottles?

[@brianh.9688]

You put in to words something that I've never quite been able to articulate when you said, "I"m not sure I enjoyed it that much today." (8:05). I thought, yes, that's it. Sometimes I have a fragrance that I love one day, and the next day I wonder if I really do. It just clicked for me when you said that. Then I got to thinking about food. Some days you can eat a food you really do like, but it just doesn't quite satisfy on another day. Your comment got me thinking about all of my fragrances, and I realize that I have perhaps just three (out of about 12) that I always enjoy - Rive Gauche (I love old-school wet shaving), Polo Green, and Drakkar Noir (what can I say, I was a teen in the 80s!). As always, awesome video - thanks!

[@RyzFragz34]

Wonderful review as always!! The opening lol.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot Ryan!

[@stephengilmour1881]

I absolutely love this fragrance.

[@jojo3752]

Is it simillar to the adp leather signature line the edp?

[@mattstrom5348]

I sprayed a couple sprays of this Acqua di parma colonia leather on my lower arms before bed and then added some patchuoli oil from the heath-food store sparingly over-top of the colonia leather and in the morning after my shower, I was left with a pretty decent skin scent.

[@Tyronieus]

This isn't bad. Not sure how I feel about leather fragrances yet (most of the ones I've tried are weird/harsh) but this one is really smooth. Definitely liking this one more than Tuscan Leather.

[@Longshore79]

Which one do you like better? Colonia Oud or Colonia Leather??

[@highoctanehome]

Great reveiw . . . if you had to choose between ADP Oud or Leather, which one would it be and why? Thanks!

[@MrSmelly1977]

I went with the leather as I prefer leather scents to Oud in general. However the Oud is growing on me !

[@andrespecht7127]

AdP Leather is much better than the Oud version. Its absolutely beautiful. A classy italian leather with a hint of citrus and rose

[@nick177th]

Excellent review Dan. I'm a leather guy so, I love this one. I own three of the Ingredients line. Quercia, Leather, and Mirra. I love the way Ebano smells too but, it doesn't seem to last on me. I'm a HUGE Acqua di Parma fan. I love my leathers bold. I have a fairly long commute to work so, even if I wear something bold to work, it's usually 'settled' by the time I get to work. I think I'll make this one my SOTD for tomorrow. Thanks Dan. You've just saved me a half hour worth of time tomorrow morning. LOL!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot James . Great work scent! Ha ha same as me wasting half an hr choosing the days fragrance!

[@dickjackson25]

Hi James, I just bought the Quercia because I had a sample and loved the way it smelled, however i found it only lasts one to two hours on my skin before I can barely smell it, do u find this? Many thanks

[@thm4643]

The usual excellent and thoughtful review. I've had this fragrance in my collection for several weeks and I very much like it. Love the leather with the rose in the background. I'd be very interested in your thoughts on Quercia and Ebano.

[@bernie7772]

I have got to try Acqua di Parma. I was thinking about starting with Essenza. Any recommendation would be appreciated. Great review. The leather sounds beautiful. Thank you, sir.

[@MrSmelly1977]

100 per cent Essenza as the best place to start. 10/10 scent for me. Let us know if you try it Bernie.

[@bernie7772]

MrSmelly1977 Thank you. I know you have spoken highly of it, so I'm off to get it. Thanks again and I will let you know what happens.

[@rawandmane1888]

Brother, how long is the stability and smell of the fragrance?

[@kkchome]

Great review. The only one of this line I have tried is Colonia Sandolo, which I really enjoy. Highly recommended.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks. I must revisit sandalo.

[@steliosc.4686]

I blind bought this one cause i love the house but im trying really hard to like it. I dont know, there is something missing and yes i do get a lot of that boot polish note. 7/10 for me. But Ebano is great. Sweet woody patchouli spice. A bit old fashioned scent in the best way. Great video Dan.

[@M82RKY]

Stelios Constantas hey bro, if you in the UK, fancey selling it?

[@vitaminseller]

and if youre in the unites states and fancy in selling it , let me know

[@bartlebob]

Kiwi shoe polish is pretty close. Better than Dunhill Icon?

[@jimr880]

Surprisingly, I do not like those signature Mediterranean Acqua di Parma fragrances...but I love both Colonia Leather and Essenza Oud - two brilliant fragrances IMO. One thing I need to state is that Colonia Leather is miles-apart from Tuscan Leather with only a faint passing similarity. Sure, they're both leather frags...but that's it as they are very, very, very different. Enjoyed the review as I feel this one, along with Essenza Oud, rate more attention. Cheers.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Great summary Jim thanks I agree with you. Tuscan Leather is very different.

[@waveylikemax]

He had chat gpt 5 years ago 😂😂😂 great intro.. great video

[@davidpeters2905]

hi Mr smelly, wow this is a very in depth fragrance review, i really paid attention to what you had to say, and I really admire the fact that you leave the final decision to us, i think that we have or need a challenging scent in our collection, otherwise it is just a bit boring, i don't like tuscon leather (harsh ) so I am going to be looking for a sample to put my nose to, just a random question have you ever noticed on the magnetic top to savauge edt look on the inside and there is a picture of a fly, i notice when I was reminding myself of the scent when you review it

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks David! I will check the inside of my Sauvage lid!

[@mercedesbenzs600bash]

Sounds pretty complex and daring,I just might sample it....

[@nealfrancis5083]

Like this one myself dan , I need to get a blue one for spring, which would you recommend mate

[@MrSmelly1977]

I have Ginepro di Sardegna and Fico d'Amalfi from the blue line. Both great for spring / summer. Ginepro a bit more deep and complex but Fico is great for summer!

[@alistairthow1384]

MrSmelly1977 sorry if you were offended by my comment what works in factory canteen sometimes doesn't work in an open forum, apologies again I will temper any future so called humour, yours Ali .

[@MrSmelly1977]

I wasn't offended Ali . It was a perfectly ok comment and I didn't mind at all! Thanks for caring though.

[@KikeLiLK]

Dear Dan, where do you buy those little decants? Any recommendation to buy it from Spain where I'm from? Cheers😊

[@speedwolf5212]

I'm a fan. Do you prefer this to Tuscan Leather?

[@MrSmelly1977]

They are really different overall. I probably prefer this slightly. I do enjoy TL but find it hard to wear and perhaps not pleasing to others.

[@laniersmith1798]

Great review... I had to choose between Colonia Leather and the Essenza ...and I went with Essenza. But since I love leather this may be on my horizon. Bravo, well done. PS. Where ever did you find that photo of Audrey Hepburn, She never before looked so...so... round!

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks Lanier. I think Essenza is my favourite Acqu di Parma but I remember your first impression video helped me discover Leather! That lady is actually Maria Whittaker... a British glamour model who made an big impression on a 12 year old Mr Smelly back in the 80s!

[@Lecream1]

I get a beautiful soft leather jacket. A soft citris and very enjoyable one to say the least. Theres also a mint note somewhere in between 🔥🥰

[@mikeprice8307]

So basically TF Ombre Leather

[@CapitalistSpy]

Wooooooo! Wait that long for so long! Thanks for review

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks a lot for watching Big Wolf.

[@uptown3636]

I disagree with your AI digital assistant. You're not bald. Great video as always, Mr. Smelly. I just bought my first bottle of Essenza based on your review of it. Loving it!

I’ve been pushing this stuff for ages. Than, you

Thanks a lot Ryan.

Love this One & Ebano - The citrus/orange take opening is great👌🏼 The Oud has some of the same in your face opening - but In a good way 😎 Thanks for the presentation Dan 👍🏼🇩🇰

[@RichMitch]

Have u tried ebano and mirra?

[@MrSmelly1977]

Yes really nice and very different smelling scents!

[@alexmetalhead15]

I just blind bought this based on your review. I love Tuscan leather but it's too expensive. I'm expecting good things. thanks for the review! I'm still in the haunt for ADP oud. Its awesome

[@TheVoltaire1]

There is a great clone of Tuscan leather. Im forgetting the name but it's pretty much the same scent. It's a curvy black bottle

[@M82RKY]

Hi mate, great review. I visited John Lewis today and tested it out along with a few creeds and ADP Oud. Leather has a Tuscan Leather vibe but no Rasberry, I get pure leather form it (noob fraghead) and seems to be performing well, I 100% agree with what you are saying here. I was about to drop £150 on some Tabacco Vanille but saw a MAC area so went for Velvet Teddy hahaha cutting corners mate!!!

[@Lecream1]

this one is very nice. I give it a 8 out of 10 😁

[@johndavid4007]

LOL @ the pictures for David Niven and Audrey Hepburn.

[@MrSmelly1977]

Thanks John.

[@dylan45]

Quercia and Ebano are beautiful but it's the bloody prices, I just don't get the ridiculous price point, and I have to say it's that what spoils the whole experience for me. Anyway, loved the Milo skit, surprising and funny.

[@christophercooper149]

180ml for 195 dollars where I am for the Leather. I think that although it is expensive, it's nowhere near insane.

[@justaddlight]

Oh cool! You know Dimitri too? Yeah, nice bloke. Very opinionated. lol As for Colonia Leather, I think you've got something when you mentioned that it's rather "drier" than Tuscan Leather. I get that too. I tried layering a sample with MB Individuel to see if I could add some raspberry to it....total disaster. Your elaborate description is very much appreciated Dan - especially for people on the fence about purchasing the pricey stuff. Keep it up my friend.

[@miracleman.]

Excellent review.

[@TheFragranceDecantBoutique]

Really like this one!

[@unwhack]

Dont know if they smell the same i only smelled the “leather” not the colonia leather with the black bottle. Was the most disgusting fragrance i ever smelled in my life. Smelled like burnt rubber and ashtray. My wife and all my friends hated is as well. Projection is insane and even after a shower it continued to disturb my nose. I normally love leathers and knize ten is kind of my signature, but this one was horrifying. I dont get how anyone wants to smell like that.
