Community take

Yes, if you enjoy bold leather fragrances with depth.

Royal Leather by By Kilian is often described as a complex blend that balances rich leather with floral and earthy notes. Users note the prominent leather accord, which is complemented by hints of black tea and hawthorn at the top, transitioning into a heart of heliotrope and leather. The base features oud and patchouli, giving it a deep, animalic quality. While many enthusiasts appreciate its unique character and longevity, some find it too bold or heavy for everyday wear. It is generally recommended for cooler seasons and evening occasions, though it may not suit those who prefer lighter scents.
