This Fragrance Smells Like…
Reckless Leather has an old-school quality – it leaves a lasting impression that feels distinctly masculine and bold; wearing this perfume is a confident choice.
It’s opening is powerful, fresh and fiery with green galbanum and spicy pink pepper, cardamom, nutmeg and nutty fenugreek. At the heart of Reckless Leather is a core of smoking and sensuality with woody oud, patchouli, warm animalic ambrox, leather and ambergris, giving it its rich-bodied aroma. As the scent wears on the skin, tobacco-scented costus root comes to the forefront with sweet muscone met by the sensual symphony of sandalwood, cypriol and frankincense.
What’s The Story Behind This Scent?
The Amouage Reckless Leather is formulated by Alberto Morillas and Pierre Negrin. It’s expert blend of spices and resins is meant to be an art of subtle seductions of the senses and mind, in keeping with the theme of the Library collection’s focus on knowledge and artistic expression in every fragrance they add.

Not your typical fresh spicy scent – it’s heavy, dark and deep. The strength of this aroma isn’t for the faint-hearted, so if you are looking for a fresh green perfume with a punchy dose of spices and sexy undertones of leather, you’ll appreciate Reckless Leather.
