#284 - Eau D'Ombre Leather by Tom Ford

hello everybody , welcome to the cologne podcast I'm mike and I'm ryan and we're two best friends .

We're going on a fragrance journey , smelling fragrances , giving you uneducated opinions and today we're going to be putting our noses on tom ford's odombre leather holy crock-a-mole is it odombre ? Is it is the d ? Is like silent . It's not silent or anything , is it ? No ? So this one's a dom , huh , it's a , yeah , one of those .

You know what I'm talking about . I mean , why wouldn't it be if you've got leather involved ? Damn , oh God .

Hey , what do you think this motherfucker's gonna smell like ? Um , you always ask . You're always like after the episodes . Yeah , we really got to . We got to figure out what they smell like before we smell them .

Yeah , at least kind of bear our expectations to the world . Just pull our freaking pants down on our expectations . Show the world what we're rocking .

So we're saying , oh , dom Bray , you know we don't know what this technically means , but I mean I'm thinking what you're thinking . So if we're thinking that , are we thinking this is going to be something a little bit more skanky ? Is that what we're thinking ?

I don't know . I can't help but already be filtering in some of the things I've already heard about it . Okay , which is ? It's supposed to be a fresher , sweeter , warmer ombre leather .

I don't know .

So I'm going with that . Just judging from the bottle , which is like the see-through bottle , that sort of thing it's given a fresher , like it's going to be light , yeah , okay , yeah , maybe , so Maybe it's a little bit sweeter . You know , you already have that kind of fruity leather going on with ombre leather and now we're getting odombre on it .

think it's probably going to be what you just said , but I'm kind of hoping it's a little skanky . It's going to be nasty Little whips and chains .

Oh , and you can't tie me down chains .

oh , and you can't tie me down , but let me tell you what dior galore on fragrantica . Okay , I do love that name it's a great name .

Great name the most inferior baby cat knockoff you'll ever find . Cheers to another shitty tom ford who even takes this house serious anymore .

God damn , there's some real pretentious people out there and I fucking love it .

Oh , it's part of the game , man . You got to have a little bit of that in there . A little bit of salt , you know , to bring out the flavor .

Oh yeah . Well , let's sweeten this up a little bit and maybe a little light , because we're going to be giving our one night stand review of Chanel Allure Home Sport Super .

Alegria ,

One night stand review .

Well , Mike , after staying in bed not being much of a sport , what do you say about chanel allure homesport super allegria yeah it wasn't bad , real wasn't wasn't bad , huh yeah , I think at first I was just yeah , I was getting a little something different . I was a little more hyped about it the more the the day went on .

You tell me , what did you think ? I think it's a pretty badass fragrance . Yeah , but it's a Chanel , it is definitely a Chanel , chanel . Chanel Dude . I loved it . I couldn't stop smelling it . I sprayed a little bit more out of that one little atomizer we're going to keep because we're going to give away the other two .

Yeah , I mean it smells good , it's nice . I think I just got a little and I fell out of love with it . The more the day went on , the more I was . Just like you know , I was a little disgruntled about the price . Yeah , because we we came in really loving eros energy and that was at a decent price and it's at a great price , yeah , so I don't know .

They were like just tired . I guess they were just like , hey , you know that stuff we were doing during the covid years . Yeah , like , yeah , it's not working anymore . People are low on money and they really want actual quality shocker and we're gonna find out .

With this new tom ford , are we gonna be hit ? Far , it's been 0 for 1 . With leather fragrances , are we going to get our tie ball game here ? What was the last one ? We ?

smelled Dark leather . Oh yeah , what the ? Every time I've literally tried to like clean slate my brain of that Victor and Roth garbage what was that it was a phoned in an uninspired piece of garbage , shout out .

There was so much room to be badass with that fragrance you ever seen that meme ?

it's like a cartoon drawing , but it's like a board meeting and somebody gives oh , yeah , yeah , good advice they toss them out the window . Yeah , I feel like somebody came up with this idea and they probably had a good vibe to go with it and they're like love the name you're fired . Yeah , something happened . Something happened somewhere , For sure .

At least that . Just go and smell it at any designer thing which Steve told us that it's apparently named after some sort of racing thing , maybe Formula One , which is less popular in the States , apparently , we're you know NASCAR .

That's real racing , right Hell yeah , brother , fucking barbecue in the middle of a fucking circle with cars going 200 miles an hour . Come on , yeah , because the um .

This just shows my ignorance on this . Is it like drag racing with those or is ? Is it around a with nascar ? No with the other , oh , with the formula one yeah , or do they have a course and everything ? Oh no , it's a course too . Oh okay , see , there you go . Nascar is like straight up .

Yeah , left turns , baby , all day long . A lot of like . You know I'm sucking his wind to get around and then he can suck my wind , kind of thing yeah , dude , they're sucking lots of wind , for sure okay all right , we're pumped .

Well , we're good . Yeah , we're blowing lots of wind out here . Let's , uh , let's , jump on over to the scent of the day .

Ryan odombre , leather by tom ford

We used our patented cologne podcast spinner rooney wheel that selects , uh , the thing that we found for free online to pick out a winner for this bad boy .

We're gonna be announcing that , yeah , shortly yeah , everything's on a budget , guys , but I went into the store free 99 yes , sir . So I went to the store , I picked this up while mike was out , yeah , and then I tried to facetime him . I was like , pick up , bro , pick up . He didn't , and I said I took a picture .

Uh yeah , typically , if one of us doesn't answer , the person receives a text message that's like gift wrapped , because you can do that in Messenger .

It's a hidden message that got unlocked . Yeah , and it's always negative .

Yeah , it's always fuck you .

But we've been waiting to smell it . We're finally back together , bringing the boys back in town . Oh yeah , this thing's really in there .

And so we've got some fun stuff coming up . We've got the new releases from Creed that we're going to be smelling new episodes on . Yeah , I might pick that up while he was out . That's right . I sent that to Ryan and said , hey , no , fuck you .

Alright , here we go . By the way , check that tin . Melt that thing's slick . That is pretty slurpy . It is a cool ass , fucking little travel atomizer .

Okay , here we go . Hey , test and see . Is that refillable ? Because the Tom Fords typically are Like it should twist off . Yeah .

I don't think so .

Oh , Estee Lauder , you fucked my boy up .

And here we go , hey , now .

Hey now , hey now , hey now Okay .

You know what ? Okay , guys , hmm .

Okay , okay , I did hear somebody say and I just got some in my mouth it doesn't taste as good as it smells , by the way , that there's like this ombre leather on the beach , sort of a vibe .

I kind of get that . But then I also kind of get ombre leather with a little animalic thing kind of going on .

I'm definitely picking up way more vanilla in this . I'm just gonna be real with you . She pretty nice . So far , yeah , not bad . You know what ? Hey , this is one of my clients wears ombre leather as a lady and I really feel like this may be a very feminine version of ombre leather .

Yeah , get the fuck out of here .

I don't know yeah , baby , I'm feeling that I'm feeling that I don't know . I'm feeling a sexy ombre leather Dude this . This feels very feminine to me . This is very sharp , it is nice . It's a sweet , sweet ombre leather .

What the fuck am I smelling ?

I'll be real with you . It smells like two parts ombre leather , five parts vanilla yogurt or something .

No , not yogurt . Uh-uh , that's too got a sour , a tart thing going on .

Well , it's got like , it's kind of got a little . You know what I mean A little , there's a little something to there , there's a little pucker in there .

I'm in love with this . I think I just instantly fell in love , like that music that played in Wayne's World 2 . Oh yeah , wayne's World 1 . It was 1 , wasn't it Dream ?

weaver . I'm like floating right now . I believe you don't want to hear me sing the rest of that .

I do have to admit this would smell pretty yummy . Oh yeah , On a lady , yeah .

Got my juices flowing , dog Wow .

It has some type of animalistic . It's not harsh though it's subtle . It's like animalistic . Is this what baby cats supposed to smell like ? Is that some like ?

yeah , I don't know .

That's what dior galore has to say about when you make an alternate one called dior gold . Never mind , wouldn't work . I was gonna say dior galoreo , it's like galore .

But yeah , fuck that , cut that out now , to me it just smells like a vanilla permanent marker , really , yeah really for sure .

Yeah , no , I don't get that . Oh , I get that it almost smells dental . I don't know , it's weird .

Hmm , this is really weird guys there is 30 of this that reminds me of , like that crystal saffron .

Hmm , yeah , no , I can see that , but with way more vanilla . Well , you know what ? Since we're talking about what it smells , let's go ahead and tell you what the notes are . If you go to free grantica , they have a thing called . Oh my god , what's ?

up . Chris Fragmental just messaged me we're going to be doing an episode covering his hitting the 100,000 subscriber mark . Okay , he said yes . He said yes and he's going to talk about some of his favorite moments along the way , nice .

Yeah , we were walking the track today and he told me , you know , hey , he just said 100,000 . I was like man , we should do an episode . And he's like I'll message him right now . Yeah , great idea , ryan . I may or may not have come up with that , I don't know , it might have been Mike's reason . I'm really bad about that .

I'm really bad about him bringing up ideas and I always have to shoot him like I don't know dude , that's kind of wacky .

And then like a year later I go hey , dude , you know what would be really cool , yeah , and then he's always like staring straight ahead with beads of sweat going down his head . Yes Ryan , what would be cool , Because he knows it's going to be something .

He mentioned , that same idea , and I'm like imagine how great it would be if we had done that a year ago . But but anyways , fragrantica has something .

Fragrantica has a thing called a perfume pyramid and in that you can see the notes listed for the fragrance . Oh boy , top notes . Cardamom , ginger , coriander . Do you smell ginger with this ?

I don't smell any of that so far .

Middle notes . Here you go . Vanilla Leather yeah , Got both those .

Base notes . Ambrofixro fix . Oh , that's that new molecule . I've seen that in a few the new molecule . I don't know that it's new but it's new to me .

New to me , hey , it says tm to the side . Somebody trademarked it . Yeah for sure . Let's see what fragrantica says that's supposed to smell like . Maybe this is going to help us understand this profile a little better . Oh god , ambro fix . Understand this profile a little better . Oh God , ambrofix . Smell is clearly amber-y .

Okay , yeah , I can kind of get that .

It's close to a mixture of ISO-E , super and Ambrox DL , woody and fresh , with a piney and nutty nuance .

God , Eccentric Molecules needs to make that fucking one .

Cedarwood floral , leather-like , slightly tobacco note and dry , musk-like aftertaste , Balsamic , amber-like Yum .

You get all that you feel like it kind of hits this or no . No , I get strong vanilla and then permanent marker .

That's what I'm getting . Wow , I'm not getting that . And then permanent marker that's what I'm getting . Wow , I'm not getting that . I do get the vanilla , but I'm also getting . I kind of do get the tobacco-y thing kind of going on in leather , but not like harsh , it's smooth , oh baby , you're not feeling this ?

huh , I'm not saying I'm not feeling it , I like it . I just think it is very feminine . But I think that would be great on a lady .

God , I swear to god . On the tester strip it smells like some type of fucking like dentist office thing , like it's a little bit brighter and fresher on this than it is my skin yeah , the card has something extra .

Tester strip has something extra . Shout out rxl . He's always keeping us in line . You know it's tester strip . Stop doing sample reviews .

Yeah , fucking nerds , fuck you yeah nerds all welcome to all jokes .

We love it . Why do ?

I have an I have an unhealthy obsession with watching his stuff . Really I do . I can't help it , dude .

Yeah , he's not afraid to be raw . I'll give him that For sure . You know what , Ryan ? Let's hit that price and popularity

Well , mike , if you want a 50 ml of this , it's going to set you back $135 . Popularity well , mike , if you want a 50 ml of this , it's going to set you back 135 buckaroonies . Popularity 3.96 out of 5 . As of recording this on fragrantica not bad , yeah , I mean , I will say this so far , I still think there's something about the original ombre leather .

I like it on the ladies it's a good one .

I do like the song , but I wasn't like in love with it like I was ombre leather .

Sure , it's a little softer , yeah , a little more rounded , which again I felt like was a nice direction . I don't understand the tie to ombre leather with this fragrance . Really I really think they should have come up with a different name what the fuck ?

I want to know , though . So bad right now . Yeah , let us know . Shoot us an email if you guys know what the d does to the word ombre , or let us know . Yeah for sure , write us at theclonepodcasts at gmailcom . Yep , who do you see wearing this ?

Well , first it's a lady , Okay , and I think she is probably 28 and up , okay , and she is sassy AF . Definitely she's got brains , mm Definitely she's got brains . She's got attitude to go with those .

Oh yeah , that Aubrey Plaza type right yeah , I could see that . Fuck . I also feel like we have a listener named Cynthia .

I also feel like this kind of Cynthia's vibe . You know what . You are on the money with that , Cynthia . If you haven't smelled this yet , you need to .

Yeah , I also feel like this is kind of Cynthia's vibe , you know what you are on the money with that . Cynthia , if you haven't smelled this yet , you need to .

Yeah , I think she really should . I think this is kind of 25 and up . It's not necessarily mature , but it does have a strong vibe . So it's kind of got to fit with that personality . But I think anybody who wants to smell pretty but with a little bit of grit , this is right in that wheelhouse .

What would it be ? You know , it's like the meaty clackers to a fragrance . Right Like what ? Would it be ? Feminine , wise ? Hmm , Cause it's got it .

Yeah , definitely .

Hey , you want to reinvent the show really quick .

Well , all the things I'm thinking , I can't say .

Hey , any listeners out there . If you want to give us the female version of Meaty Clackers , write us at thecolognepodcasts at gmailcom .

It's got to be something included with labia .

Oh , wow , I can't wait to read these write-ins . Okay , are you going to ?

skip it , sample it or buy it . What are you going to do

Well , mike , I'm definitely going to sample this some more , but not with this , because we're about to give it away . It does smell good to me , I just don't know if it is . It kind of is my vibe , and it's not because I don't really wear a lot of vanilla type fragrances or something that's super sweet .

That is I just can't , I can't get past that vibe ?

Is this kind of like a better version of the Philip Pline fragrance ? Remember I said that kind of had a dental thing going on . Oh , this is way different . You think yeah , for sure , okay , okay , just hey , hey , I mean check .

Look , every nose hole is different . I just happen to have two that are wise and educated . Yeah , I mean , my nose holes have been penetrated by hundreds of fragrances . At this point , you dirty boy .

You dirty dog . So this is a skip .

No , no . It's a strong sample for the right person . For me . I like it . I really do . I'd love to smell it on any woman on earth . I would love to walk by and catch a whiff of this , and I think it is a nicer designer type vibe . I think there's more to it if you're out there and you don't mind spending a little bit of extra money .

I just don't know if it's going to be something I could I could ever wear . So it's still a sample , but I will say this about really quick , as , of taping this , I could only find this at sephora , right ?

I don't know if you know are they doing a thing where they ?

slowly trickle out . Do they get like an exclusive when it first launched , or something ?

maybe I'm not sure which . By the way , I just want to rewind for a second . That's how tough things are right now for the podcast . We're actually recording this on tape . As Ryan said , we're taping this , so if you want to help us out , go to patreoncom slash cologne podcast and help us get back into the modern age and off of analog recording equipment .

Well , you know what ? It's come to a special moment . I think we've this is one of those fragrances . I think it's just not going to vibe with us .

We're , we're collectively we're out , uh yeah , but don't hear us say that and think it's a wash .

Like who are you ? I do not have an obsession with Aubrey Plaza .

Says something that only someone with an obsession with you , do like that , you like that , just fight that . You know , yeah , oh yeah , yeah , not me . I don't like the . Uh can't ever be pleased , vibe oh , she can be pleased have you seen the like thirst tweets where they read thirst tweets ? Have you seen hers , god ?

no , oh , it's great , but all of them are like like thirst tweet , like they're saying something really provocative , to like try to win her over , yeah , okay but it's all stuff like like this tweet .

If you would suck aubrey plaza's big toe and if you don't like this tweet , let me know so I can block you . That I like that is just nasty and I'm into it . I just want to say that I would like both aubrey plaza and elizabeth olsen to curb . Stomp me . Okay , this is what I'm talking .
