The Inspiration

What If confidence had a scent.

Leather To Excellence was built as a study in nerve: Turkish rose and leather circling each other, amber and saffron pulling the whole thing deeper. Rose gives it grace, leather gives it edge, and the result is refined without ever going quiet about it. This is confidence bottled, the scent of the man sitting alone in the VIP, entirely unbothered.

Hand-composed and finished in Accra, it has become the house’s benchmark masculine, a fragrance for the man who would rather be felt than seen. Wear it boldly, because it is made to be worn by someone bolder still.

In Motion

How to Wear It

The Ritual

Respect the leather

One or two sprays; this is a rich, cold-weather scent that carries.

Warm skin wins

Apply after a shower so the sweet-woody base blooms.

Own the evening

Best after dark and in cool air, where the leather turns its richest.

    I wrote this on my order, but am happy to write it here again
    I was on the bus on Tuesday, sat next to a very smart gentleman who smelled divine! So, I plucked up the courage to ask about the cologne and we had a conversation. His name is Morison and he’s from Ghana and he knows the gentleman who developed the fragrance, as he went to school with him…
    Morison is a Math teacher in an Academy Secondary school and his wife a Science teacher…he showed me a picture of his bottle of cologne (LTE) and the website online, as he said I could order from Ghana.
    I’m hoping my partner loves the cologne as much as I do ha ha ha (otherwise, 1 will wear it!)

    That leather to excellence is so damn sexy! So glad my pregnant days are behind my. I turned into an animal Saturday. My hubby was like! I should have sprayed earlier 😂 we had dinner plans so it put things on hold until after. His family was waiting for us to come downstairs to go out to dinner. 10/10

    Imma review this on behalf of my hubby- i personally hated this when i sampled it

    As a female, im mostly drawn to scents marketed towards men because i gravitate towards musky, spicy resinous accords, but i positively hated this one on me.
    It was so smelly, animalic, bitter and i almost gagged soo bad the first time i sampled it.

    Then it clicked that there must be a reason why the men who reviewed this scent loved it, so i passed it off to my husband and my oh mine, it was an INSTANT HIT for him.
    The voyager used to be his go to now he wears this almost everyday and everywhere.

    The first day he wore it, i went positively FERAL. The scent transformed into something i absolutely couldn’t fathom, it had me doing a double take to make sure it was the fragrance i had once despised and locked away.
    I guess it does really work with testosterone lol.

    He is not an oversprayer in general so a little dab here and there is STILL enough to fill 2 rooms. The projection is crazy !!

    I go absolutely feral each time hubby has this on and he knows the effect it has on me, i hate it😂

    I think this is strictly a male scent, gift that man in your life today a bottle of this.

The Perfumer

Why I made This

I wanted to bottle sheer nerve. Rose and leather is a hard pairing to get right, one graceful, one raw, and holding them in balance is the whole art of this one. I made it for the man who walks in unbothered and owns the room without trying. If you are the boldest person you know, this was made for you.

Before you buy

Questions, answered

Is the leather harsh?

No. It leans dark and sweet rather than animalic, smoothed by amber and woods.

Best season?

Any weather, day or night. It's built to perform in every season.

Is it a masculine?

It's listed for men and leans that way, but leather lovers of any gender enjoy it.

How long does it last?

It's a Parfum Extreme, so expect 24+ hours on skin and 72+ hours on fabric.

How far does it project?

Enormous. It leaves a trail roughly 200 meters after you pass by.
