English Leather Cologne by Dana, English Leather is a classic men’s fragrance that has been on and off the market since its original formulation in 1949 by Dana and continues to be a favorite for nostalgia fans for its solidly masculine scent. Opening notes of bergamot and lavender mix with citrus and rosemary for a bracing first act. Middle notes of honey and rose mellow out the sharpness, but the base notes are the ones that last and envelope you in the signature scents of leather, musk and cedar. The sillage on English Leather is impressive and you can apply this once in the morning and be assured it will take you through dinner. Dana was originally a prestigious perfume house based in Spain. During World War Ii, it relocated to the United States. Over the years they have released a number of now classic scents in the moderate price market, including Canoe and Tabu. Today they offer over forty fragrances, including updated versions of old favorites such as Toujours Moi.
