I’ve been sampling it for a while before decided to get a full bottle, and i like it very much. It is sophisticated, I get a lot of sweet tonka bean in the opening + slight bitterness + synthetic leather. Leather in FF is not the same as leather we get from Tuscan Leather. FF leather is softer I would say, and synthetic. It has cosmetic/make up vibe, similar to DHI but in different direction. Its kinda linear, as it stays as it is from opening till it faded. Performance wise, projection is moderate but good enough for me. Longevity, it stays on my shirt for a very long hours (10+ hrs). But on skin, it last around 6-7 hours. This is love or hate frag, and you really need to sample it first before buying since smelling on the test strip is not good enough. Summary - a unique and sophisticated frag that smells bitter sweet + synthetic leather + cosmetic/makeup vibe all the way.

hi Bro, where u got your samples from? i tried FF at KLCC , Genting Highland , and Klia. Now, no more place to try any more. later they will recognize me.  Haha . The price is abit expensive here in Malaysia. I got tonka and leather (like from DHP). I love the smell. My wife hate this.

TF KLCC is generous with samples. Me and my wife have been regular there so we got many samples from them.

Nice. only being there once. But, u bought anything during your visit? Or they just really generous and gave u sample?

I went there once just to try their fragrance and the sa gave me two free samples without purchasing anything. I got Tuscan leather and neroli portfofino.

Love Tuscan Leather. Too bad the current formulation doesnt stay long on my skin. End up buying cheaper alternative with better performance,  la yuqawam and PDM godolphin. But Tuscan Leather definitely more ashy. To my untrained nose, not much different.

Yes. Totally loving Tuscan leather and hence got myself layuqawam for the cheaper price tag. Add atelier cologne's oud saphir to the mix of clones too. That one also reminds me of Tuscan leather.

Heard about the oud Saphir too. How's the performance?

diptyque smells nice BUT DOES NOT LAST LONG. Jo Malone better

I have oud saphir (OS) sample from Kens. It is very close to TF Ombre Leather (OL) I would say, but OL has an extra punch, while OS is more subtle. I like both, but since I already have both Tuscan Leather and OL, getting OS would be a redundant purchase. Anyway, you can’t go wrong with OS.

Yeah. Guess i will visit Kens to try. thx bro for your insight. Notice any oud? or very subtle?

Good question. You make me wonder where is the oud as the name says. To my nose I don’t notice any oud.

Which diptyque are you referring to? Oud Palao performs very well from my opinion. So does Vetyverio. I had no experienced with Jo Malone so I can’t comment much.

I don't get any oud either. It's just like TL to me. Since I don't own OL so I can't compare to that.

Heard about the oud Saphir too. How's the performance?

OL for me is a lighter version of TL. Same goes to OS, but i found that OS is more subtle and ‘silky’ (i don’t know how to describe). However, they are all sharing the same DNA. Same goes to La Yuqawam Pour Homme and Godolphin. Too bad I haven’t had a chance to try out La Yuqawam, but I have Godolphin sample. PDM Godolphin is slightly sweeter in opening, and missing the TL signature of wet cigar scent in dry down.
