Testing J.F. Schwarzlose Berlin Leder 6 Fetisch. I think one of these times when the producer had a marketing brief ready for release before the fragrance was ready. It should be named 'Styrax 6 Softy'. It opens with smell of warm saffron milk with a sprinkle of vanilla. Soon after that dry, resinous and woody styrax comes out (it reminds me a lot of how Francesca Bianchi is using this this ingredient in her fragrances or how it smells in Arquiste Nanban) and remains the dominating note for the rest of the lifetime of this scent but the perfume remains soft and 'round' as in the opening phase. You can pick up some honey and incense nuances are showing up but if you don't focus really hard you won't pick up any leather. I think that it's just a leathery nuance of styrax and there is no actual leather here anyways. It's funny how off are votes on the most prominent notes both on fragrantica and parfumo.net on this one. Autosuggestion is a powerful really thing if all of those people think that there's any leather note here. Perhaps people confuse it with styrax that most of people don't know the scent profile of. Projects really well. Overall a very nice crowdpleasing scent for those who would like to anyway smell a bit unique.
