Sapphire Leather is a standout fragrance from Ibrahim Al Qureshi's luxury collection. It is a modern, aromatic leather scent that balances rugged, smoky textures with a surprisingly fresh and "coniferous" opening. It is widely compared to the DNA of Tom Ford Ombré Leather or Memo Paris Russian Leather, but with an added herbal and spicy complexity.

Description

Sapphire Leather opens with a striking, "cold" freshness. The Juniper Berries provide a sharp, pine-like coniferous aroma that feels clean and forest-like, while the Pink Pepper and Citruses add a zesty, energetic kick. This makes the opening much more vibrant and airy than traditional heavy leather perfumes.

As the fragrance develops, it enters a refined aromatic heart. The Ginger adds a zingy, spicy heat that is perfectly countered by the soft, powdery elegance of Iris. A blend of Herbal Notes keeps the scent feeling natural and sophisticated, preventing it from leaning too heavily into a "chemical" leather smell.

The dry-down is where the fragrance reveals its true power. A prominent, high-quality Leather note is supported by Birch Wood, which introduces a sophisticated smokiness (reminiscent of the smoky aspect of Aventus, but much deeper). Tonka Bean and Amber provide a necessary hint of warmth and sweetness in the base, ensuring the fragrance feels balanced and "complete" as it lingers on the skin.

Ibrahim Al Qureshi Sapphire Leather is an excellent choice for those who want a leather fragrance that feels "expensive" and authoritative. It is less "animalic" than Cuban Tobacco and more "refined and aromatic" than Spanish Tobacco, making it a very versatile choice for someone who wants to command a room without being overwhelming.
