Note

Leather

No hide goes into a leather note: the perfumer suggests it, often with smoky birch tar, until it reads like a worn jacket.

Everyday reference
It is the smell of a well-oiled baseball glove.
Versus Tobacco
Tobacco is sweeter, with notes of raisin and hay, while leather is darker, with smoke and a bitter bite.
What to smell for
Notice a dark, tarry bitterness; suede notes, which count as leather here, are softer and more powdery.
