* Hybrid leather/floral fragrance
* Strong combination of spicy, floral, leather, woody, and vetiver notes
* Strong floral and leather notes take center stage
* Unusual and challenging
* Great for those who love drier fragrances
* Could be very polarizing to some noses
* Might lean too masculine for some female users
* Not as complex or intriguing as its sibling flankers Oud Crescent and Unique Portrait
Emir's Identity Rose & Leather is an aptly named fragrance whose draw is in the name: this is a very strong floral and leather hybrid fragrance with leather and rose being the main players. This is not a sweet rose, but a dry vegetal one. The leather and rose notes are supported by spicy, woody, and vetiver notes. It very much comes across as a freshly cut rose where the floral aroma from the petals mixes with that of the freshly cut stalk.
This is really unusual and challenging for a fragrance. It could be very polarizing to some noses, and might lean far too masculine for some female users despite the presence of rose. It's great for those who love a drier fragrance, though, and are tired of the sweet and fresh trend. I'd argue that its sibling flankers Oud Crescent and Unique Portrait are far more complex and intriguing fragrances, but this is still quite intriguing. Recommended.
