I'm a big citrus collector and I wanted to expand my horizons. I decided to go with Rare Carbon after flip flopping between several other similar fragrances.

Being totally transparent here. Was impressed by the bottle and presentation. I sprayed it and was initially a bit taken back. Smelled great but I didn't find the leather. After a few hours I returned to rare carbon and sprayed again.

It is very berry forward in such a beautiful way. So much so I was wondering where the leather is. The leather is there it's just being treated with great aromatics. It's a great scent if you want to dabble with leather.

I've smelled Tom for ombre leather and this in my opinion is not a clone of it. Ombre lesther is pure leather. Where as this is something not challenging that smells fantastic.

No disrespect to ombre leather but these two are different and equally quite fantastic. For the price of this it's just spectacular in my opinion. It's one of those scents I'm just happy to wear to bed and let it surround me.
