The brief
Tom Ford asked Gillotin to bottle the smell of expensive leather goods stored together — saddles, jackets, gloves — softened with the raspberry-jasmine smoothness that became the composition's signature.
NameNamed after the Tuscan leather goods tradition — saddle, glove and shoe leather as a regional artisanal signature.
Why it mattered
- Part of the original 2007 Private Blend launch; arguably the most-dupé masculine niche composition of the past two decades, with countless 'Tuscan Leather inspired' affordable clones.
Footnotes
- Frequently cited in Tom Ford interviews as his personal favourite from the Private Blend collection; widely worn by male celebrities including Justin Timberlake and Andy Cohen.
The Curator's Note
The most copied masculine niche of the past two decades, and the only one Tom Ford admits to favouring.
