Holy moly what a fragrance It's not sweet like the original. It's more green and has a smokey burning wood vibe. It's called Tuscan Leather Intense but I surprisingly find it fresher than TL. Not in a watered down kinda way, it definitely smells "stronger" than TL, just not as dense as the original. There's definitely castoreum here which blends beautifully with leather. The amber is very subdued and won't be detected unless you smell deep. I was half expecting this to be a brutal raw leather with faint animallic notes, but it's actually much more complex than that. I'm loving it. Overall, if you liked Tuscan Leather for it's tart sweetness, this is not for you. However if you like a green, less dense, and darker take on leather, Tuscan Leather Intense is an amazing choice. Personally, I give the original an 9.5/10 and this one a 8.5/10 EDIT: The far dry down of this is moderately reminiscent of the opening of Tobacco Oud. Tuscan Leather Intense is by far the most complex Tom Ford fragrances I've smelled. I'm bumping the rating up to 9/10
in the opening it’s a very different scent compared to the og.i personally cannot detect any of that famous rasperry note so prominent in TL. In the drydown i feel the same dry leathery accord used in the og. resuming it’s a dry leathery scent different then the og and with its own vibe.
Like someone at Estee Lauder was trying to make Zoologist Rhinoceros wearable
I have the OL, TL, & recently added this beauty TLI. I'm going to exclude the OL because to me it plays in total different league & to sum up the comparison between the TL & TLI; the TL is a wild predator untamed heavy creature that is extremely challenging to control & obey; you may consider it as a killer whale or Orca. On the other hand; The TLI is a much much heavier tamed creature that is somehow controlled & gentle. May obey your orders; It is the Shark Whale. I don't want to go into the notes breakdown & performance. I guess the above comparison is enough said if it is a possible comparison.
I love the original, wear it and know its characteristics very well. How does this flanker differ? Well, the first thing I detected for a second or two after spraying on my skin was an intense lacquer note which resolved very quickly into a pronounced skank note. This has a very brief dirty smell that the original TL doesn't own. And then... green. After five minutes or so on my skin it dried down into pretty much the original Tuscan Leather. Perhaps a bit greener. After a half hour it became a skin scent, so I'm not sure this lasts as long as the original scent. On a card I detect what my wife calls the "Grandma's ashtray" note. I don't find it objectionable as she does, but I do not believe it's in the original. I like it - but I prefer the original
