Hello, I live in the US and thank you for the giveaway.
My favorite Acqua Di Parma scent thus far is Iris Nobile. I adore Iris, and though I usually like my iris cold and dirty this warm butter interpretation is inviting.
Thanks for the chance, Robin and NST! I would LOVE to win the ADP Leather.
My favorite ADP fragrance is a tie between the lemon-herbal Colonia Intensa and the (borderline juvenile) Mandorlo di Sicilia.
In terms of leathers….I tend to prefer softer, more accessible leather scents, the Bottega line is an excellent value. Chanel CdR is a bit too…..authentic?….to me. Stables and hay is what I think of.
Oops, forgot to mention I live in the U.S. (no “edit comment” function here).
I live in the US. I’ve never tried a leather before, mainly because the most commented upon are so expensive. Does anyone have a suggestion for a leather that is relatively inexpensive and easily acquired online?
I live in the U.S. and my favourite leather fragrance is Tom Ford Tuscan Leather.
Thanks for the giveaway! I live in the US. I love Colonia Leather, but my favorite AdP is Arancia di Capri as it has sentimental value.
I live in the US and my favorite AQP is colonia intensa and the oud variation is a close second.
Oh yay! I live in the US and my favorite leather is Cuir de Russie. I’m also in the minority that loves Kelly Xaleche (the parfum is a smooth floral calfskin). Thanks for the draw!!
How exciting 🙂 I am in the US, and my favorite leather is Tauer Lonestar Memories (though I also like Tuscan Leather very much). Thank you!
I live in the US.
My favorite leather is Chanel’s Cuir de Russie – I found a vintage bottle at the antique mall, thought of “flipping it” on eBay, but nah, it’s too divine to part with.
I live in the US and grant permission to use my email address. I don’t have a favorite leather scent nor do I own one so I would love to try this!
I live in the US. I just got into perfumes, and don’t have a favorite leather scent. However, I did just get some samples from smellbent, and am LOVING the Brussels Sprouted fragrance.
Hi Robin–I live in the USA and you can email me anytime! I have only sniffed a few Acqua di Parma scents and would love to have this one! love the Bottega line, but my fave leather is Ineke’s Field Notes from Paris…maybe that’s more tobacco? Any way, smells good to me!
I live in the US and my favorite AdP is the original Colonia.
I live in the U.S.
my favorite leathers are Piguet Bandit, Bulgari Black and I recently got a mini spray of Smell Bent Violet Tendencies and it is truly wonderful.
I really liked just about everything in the AdP Blu Mediterraneo line
I live in the U.S. Fave leathers are Bvlgari Black and Miss Balmain. You can use my email. Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in the U.S. and my favorite leather fragrance is probably Dzing! You can use my email and thanks so much for the giveaway opportunity!
I live in the U.S. and my favourite leather fragrance is Cuiron! Thank you!!
I live in the US! Thanks for all the giveaway opportunities 🙂 I haven’t tried any Aqua di Parma fragrances yet, but I love leather. So far, my favorites are Cuir de Lancome and Cuir de Russie.
Thanks for the contest, Robin. I live in the US, and while I haven’t actually tried anything from this line yet, my favorite leather fragrance would be either Bottega Veneta edp or SL Daim Blond depending on mood and occasion.
Hello Robin.
I live in the US and you are welcome to contact me.
I have a strong love of leather as a note. I own several different leather scents, but maybe my favorite is my first swoon, Memoir Woman.
I’m in the USofA and have had several AdP fragrances, my favorite being Colonia Assoluta (though I’ve yet to try the leather or oud, both on my to do lists.) Thanks for the opportunity!
I haven’t had the opportunity to try a leather yet, as I am still early in my exploration of perfumes. I am about to order a sample of 1740 though – I can’t wait to try it. I live in the US – thanks so much for the draw!
Hey! I live in the US. Long time reader, finally registered. I like AdP’s Oud, while currently I enjoy the Coach No. 3 for my leather fragrance. Good luck, everyone.
Hi Robin,
I live in the U.S. Thanks again for yet another giveaway. The closest thing to a leathery scent that I like is Tom Ford’s Santal Blush. I know this one has leather – like notes in it. I would love to sample others with leather in it, as this is a note that I know very little about. 🙂
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Acqua di Parma is Colonia Intensa Oud. Thank you
I live in the US. My favorite leather fragrance is Cuir de Russie. I would love to explore more leather/suede anchored scents!
Not my favorite, bur one of the more unusual leather fragrances I’ve tried recently is Salamanca from Olympia Orchids Artisan Perfumes. Opens with a blast of hot leather, hay and earth. Eventually mellows out to a complex vanilla, tonka balsamic scent. Very unusual and evocative. I live in the US. Thanks for the giveaway!
Thanks for the generous draw, Robin. I live in the U.S. One of my favorite leather fragrances is Puredistance M.
I live in the US. My favorite leather fragrance like others have mentioned is Cuir de Russie.
I live in the U.S. I’ve never tried a fragrance with leather in it. I may try to test some out as I generally like fragrances labelled for men.
I’m in the US and I like lots of leather perfumes; today it’s Rosine Rose d’Homme. Thanks for the chance, Robin!
Wow, what a generous offer, thanks! I am a fan of leather scents, and Ireally love ADP Profumo, especially the vintage version, Blu Mediterraneo Fico di Amalfi, and of course their classic violet perfume.
I live in the U.S. and you have permission to contact me at the e-mail address on file.
I’ve been wanting to try this one for weeks. I haven’t tried any of the Acqua di Parma line, but really want to try this leather. I’m in the U.S.
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Acqua di Parma is Fico di Amalfi. My favorite leather is Bottega Veneta, which seems almost too soft to be a leather.
Thanks for the very generous draw.
I live in the U.S.A. and you have permission to use my email address.
Caron Tabac Blond is my favourite leather scent.
Thank you for the contest, Robin.
I love Acqua di Parma Iris Nobile. I live in the US. Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in the US.
A current favorite leather fragrance is Cuir Fetiche.
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US.
My favorite Acqua Di Parma scent is Iris Nobile. One of my favorite leathers is Cuir de Lancôme.
Thank you for the opportunity!
I live in the US, and I have never even seen Acqua di Parma in person, let alone sniffed one. For leather, probably PG’s Cuir d’Iris.
Thanks, Robin! I’m in the US and my favorite is Colonia. A true classic and the perfect remedy for too much summer heat. Vintage Iris Nobile is a close second, though. 🙂 Thanks again for the draw!
I live in the US
I love the original Colonia, although I have a soft spot for the discontinued Lavanda Tonica.
My favorite leather is Dzing! by L’Artisan Parfumeur
Happy Columbus Day Weekend everyone 🙂
In the US & you are welcome to use my address.
I love my tiny cuiron sample.

My favorite leather fragrance is Knizia Ten.
I live in the US and you can use my email. My favorite Acqua Di Parma is Oud and my favorite leather is Puredistance M. Thanks for the draw.
I live in the US. I really like Bottega Venetta, though I dont have a full bottle just a sample. Still not 100% sure if I would wear it enought to have a full size bottle.
Hi! I live in the US and you can use this email address.
My favorite leather is Bandit. I’ve never tried any of the Acqua di Parma’s so I’d love this to be the first. Thanks for the giveaway.
I live in the US!!! My favorite leather is definitely Tom Ford Tuscan Leather but the reason I’m dying to sniff ADP Leather is because I hold ADP Oud Intensa in such high regard.
I live in the US and you can use my email.
My favorite leather fragrance is Serge Lutens Daim Blonde – beautiful smooth suede and iris sweetened with apricot and hawthorn. Yum.
I live in the US. My favorite Acqua di Parmas are the Blu Mediterraneo line, especially the fig & myrtle ones. My favorite leather scent is Nasomatto Duro.
Cuir de Russie is my one and only leather scent. I tried Bogetta Venetta (I can’t even spell it I was so little awed by it). Love Chanel and would like to try the acqua di parma.
I live in the US
Thanks for doing another great giveaway! I live in the US and my favorite Acqua di Parmas are the Blu Mediterraneo collections. I love how evocoative they are of Italy, putting it on is an instant vacation. Arancia di Capri is my favorite, especially as I sometimes catch my husband wearing it in the summer!
I can’t wait to try this leather composition– sounds perfect for the fall.
I live in the US and you can use my email. Thanks for the draw. I’ve never tried any ADPs. My favorite leather scent is Femme Rochas, which scans as a chypre and not a leather for most people. I have some vintage parfum, however, and it is very leathery indeed.
I live in the US and my favorite leather in Bottega Veneta.
Thank you for the giveaway!
I live in the US and my favorite leather (I like many) is probably Ann Gerard Cuir Nacre, although I am liking the new Cuir Cannage…..Cuir de Lancôme is by far the best bang for the buck, though, imho.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in the U.S. and my favorite Acqua di Parma is Colonia Intensa Oud.
I live in the US, and for a long time my favorite leather has been Bulgari Black. However, I just got around to sampling Tauer’s Lonestar Memories, and it’s definitely a contender!
Thanks for the draw!
I live in the US. My favorite Acqua di Parma is Iris Noble EDP.
I live in the USA. I haven’t smelled an ADP perfume that I really love. As far as my favorite leathers go, its a toss up between Cabochard and Bottega Veneta.
I live in the US.
Cuir de Russie is my fav. leather, but I love leather for those days when you want to sweep into a room and ooze strength!!!
Hi! I live in the USA and only just realized I don’t have a favorite leather fragrance and am not sure why!! Clearly, more sampling must be the answer.
I live in the US, thanks for the generosity! My favorite Aqua di Parma is Iris Nobile, and my favorite leather is Cuir de Russie.
I live in the US and my favorite leather scent is a toss up between Helmunt Lang Cuiron (just recently re-released!) or Hayari Paradis de L’Homme or Creed Royal English Leather. As far as my fave Acqua di Parma; it has to be Colonia Intensa Oud.
I love SL Daim Blond. Yum. And a little goes a loooong way and lasts forever.
I live in the US. Thanks!
Hi,
I live in the US; and my favorite ADP scent is ‘ Colonia Essenza’.
I’ve also been dying to post, that Van Cleef & Arpels ‘Cologne Noire’ is a great scent for anyone who loves to smell elegant as when wearing ADP.
I love Acqua di Parma Profumo. I live in the U.S.
Hi ! I live in the USA and you may use my email for contact if I should be so lucky as to win. I like the AdP Colonia lotion but have woefully neglected sniffing my way through the rest of the line!
I’d love to try the new leather! My favorites so far are Cabochard , Aramis, and Azuree.Jolie Madame is very nice too. I tend to prefer more hard core LEATHER rather than a nebulous suede? Amber?thing. Not slamming someone who prefers those but it won’t do anything for me if I’m craving leather.
My favorite leather fragrance is Cabochard mixed with Hermes Caleche and Aramis. The three fragrances together make the most interesting leather mix and provide a cornucopia for scent development throughout the day. I never tire of this combination and I try to include it in my fragrance rotation at least once a month.
Thanks for doing this give away! I live in the US.
So far my favorite leather scents are Cuir de Russie by Chanel and Tuscan Leather by Tom Ford. I like the elegant, restrained quality of CdR and the more smokey, rough (albeit still refined) TL, but really, I don’t think I can have enough leather fragrances.
I live in the US and can use my email to contact me.
I am really enjoying Dior Cuir Connage. It’s new to me and it feels nice on these cold fall mornings. Thanks for doing the draw! Happy Columbus Day!
Oh! What a generous draw, thanks so much!
I am wearing Kelly Caleche today from a swap, and I’ve tried Knize Ten as well, but my favorite leather is PdE Cuir Ottoman hands down!
I am in the US 🙂
I live in the US. My favorite AdP frag is Colonia Intensa Oud. Thanks for the giveaways! 🙂
I live in the US. I don’t own any Acqua di Parma bottles, so I’ll go for the leather perfumes. I like Knize Ten a lot, but I seem to use Tauer’s Lonestar Memories more. Go figure.
I live in the USA and my favorite leather fragrance is Tom Ford Tuscan Leather. Thanks!
I live in the states, California to be exact. My favorite leather is Mona di Orio cuir. Thank you!
I live in the U.S. and my favorite AdP is Magnolia Nobile.
Thank you for the giveaway!
Hi Robin,
I live in the USA
My favorite Aqua Di Parma fragrance is Cologna Essenza.
But I’m dying to try this Colonia Leather!
My favorite leather fragrance is Bel Ami by Hermes. In the reformulated scent believe it or not. It is less citrusy and less 80’s than the original powerhouse in the shaker bottle. The reformulated Bel Ami highlights its leather facet even better than the original!
Hi! I live in the US and my favorite fragrance from Acqua di Parma is the original Colonia; my favorite leather is Tuscana Leather.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I live in the US.
My favorite leather fragrance is Mark Birley Charles Street.
I do live in the U.S.

I live in the US and would LOVE to try this. My favorite leathers are cuir de russie and Black. But I’ve yet to meet a leather scent I *don’t* like. Leather and tobacco smells have become some of my favorite smells and no one was more surprised than me, since I grew up thinking I was a white floral girl. 🙂
I have yet to try an Acqua di Parma fragrance as a newbie, but would LOVE to try this, the notes sound amazing! Please enter me, thanks so much for the contest! I’m in the US.
I live in the US and the classic Colonia is my favorite Acqua di Parma
