This one is a masterpiece! It is not easy to find and buy, but once you do you must pull the trigger. I got 4-5 samples of it and I keep them for super special occasions. Its a stunner, everybody around me asks what I am wearing and where to get it...once they see the price, they are no longer interested haha
Just bought my bottle after getting a sample of it from Luckyscent recently with some discovery set purchases. I'm not a fan of leather scents in general but since it's so highly rated on Parfumo, I thought I'd give it a chance and was surprisingly blown away. Got a larger spray sample, along with Widian New York and Aswan to compare, just to make sure and then snapped up a good secondhand deal that popped up. 👌 For me, it's like a deep, rich fruit syrup with the leather just kinda sitting on the bottom barely peeking through. Almost more plum-cherry for me than raspberry, with the florals merely serving to keep it from going too dark and dense. Very smooth, no stank at all. New York is way different, but Aswan has a similar note breakdown. Despite that, Aswan smells completely different from London because it goes in an extreme bright 'n' fresh direction with a heavy ozonic violet leaf note, sharp citrus, and pink pepper. Really puts a raspberry explosion right in your face.
Glad you finally covered this house! A big fan, owning 6 bottles from them! I adore London, would love to hear your thoughts on my other faves being Liwa (kind of oud for greatness but does it's own thing) and Black I (spicy/smoky) and Black II incredible fragrance with plum rose and vanilla! Stay safe!
I nearly bought this on a recent trip to London. Instead spent my money elsewhere. And put it on the to buy list. Thanks for the niche fragrance reviews on xtra gent scents. Obviously not everyone appreciates them. Bt I'm sure the non vocal crowd do.
Thanks for reviewing. I actually think this one more closely resembles Ombré Leather, which is obviously more short-lived, but still has that raspberry beast vibe right out of the gate. Tuscan Leather just about stands shoulder to shoulder here, it's a nice top grain leather, but I don't even necessarily think of London as a leather fragrance at first -- it's just those raspberries are so memorable! I bought this immediately after I had bought Thameen - Rivière in 2018, which is another raspberry stunner, though perhaps slightly more unisex. So good to see my favorite fragrances getting recognized! Hope many people get to discover this one.
Hi Ash, great review, I have this one and I totally agree with you, but when are you going to review Plum in Cognac by Scents of Wood?you need to, believe me
I have a decant of Widian London and also like it very much. Great introduction to the brand. Having said that, I would be willing to pay about half retail price for a bottle.
I can recommend Widian Al Wasl. One of my absolute favorite oud scents. This was previously Gold I which was discontinued and they brought it back as Al Wasl. Spicy, fruity, barnyard oud. Amazing stuff!
Hey ASH, great review and I totally agreed with you, yeah I have tried it but that been said I will take nishane suede et saffran or parfums de marly Godolphin over it yep and a good weekend peace ✌️ 🇬🇧
Please make a house tour! 😁 I personally love them and be gabby to say that I have 4 full bottles from different Parfums from Widian! Exceptionally work! 👌🏽
I have two of this house.Liwa and London.Liwa on this box written extract de parfum and London written parfum like on ash's video here..other unboxing I saw London is extract de parfum versions.why if you know?
on spot review bruh. I've stayed away from leather scents in the past, but this smooth vanilla-leather combo has changed it! So good stuff and very long lasting. I do not like the spray head either. Reminds me of that quick burst of Initio spray heads. Check the following: Liwa (not so sharp version of Oud for Greatness. Released 1 year before the Initio btw.), Sahara II, spicy middle eastern orange blossom.
Fantastic fragrance! I need to review this, one of the better fragrances in the Tuscan Leather realm. It might be my favorite that’s not called Tuscan Leather.
Encountered the brand back when it was AJ Arabia and was sold in a few high-class perfume shops. The perfume names were just numbers iirc. Those are solid but when Alexandre J, ASAQ and Arabian Oud have budget friendly offers compared to those, I never looked back.
mine is Sapphire Collection and wrote on the box Parfum Version, not like others Extrait de parfum..box and everithing like your presentation,if you know why?
I had a decant of it, wore it a couple of times and ended up giving it away. It is really well blended, and yes the opening really is beautiful. But afterwards it becomes something that I see older gents wearing (I'm 26). Also don't like how unnatural the base smells, I can pick up ambroxan and hedion. Kinda reminds me how Penhaligon Portrait collection is built. So for me it's a must pass. Glad you enjoyed it.
I'm sorry I could make my self spend the money on some fragrance so small I would pay that much if they gave me alot of it , but I would feel like I got ripped off 285$ with it being so small I would have to be sold on the sent for real.
@@dukeagainsttheodds3170 My brother owns their 'The Man Cobalt' it's and old vintage Fahrenheit clone and its extremely precise and with the price? just WOW
I sampled this. It’s Tuscan Leather inspired (almost cloneish) and it’s very nice. Widian New York is designer garbage for the cost (so maybe review that one?)
@@Sebbastar really? I got it as a free sample from luckyscent not knowing what it was really about when I added in my order and that was the first thing I noticed when I put it on. Tuscan Leather. I think I preferred it to TL, though. Felt better constructed.

Widian London is a great perfume. I have got it 2 years ago and this was my wedding scent too. Love it.
Have you finished it already?
@@adriatics.3357 no. I still have a lot of it. My collection is big so consumption is distributed across.

Widian makes some excellent scents, just wish they were cheaper. I splurged on Gold II Sahara recently and it's amazing!
Hi Ash, great review, I have this one and I totally agree with you, but when are you going to review Plum in Cognac by Scents of Wood?you need to, believe me
Ash, you found one of my all time favorites. it was the 4th frag i ever bought.
Tuscan leather and its clones I hold dear. I really like how the scent comes across! I'll surely be looking for this one!
I have a decant of Widian London and also like it very much. Great introduction to the brand. Having said that, I would be willing to pay about half retail price for a bottle.

I bought this about 18 months ago and love it. I think I paid 200 at the time which I feel was worth it
Hey Ash, can you do New York soon?!
Great video Ash...can you review Widian New York. Thanks for the content. Be safe.
Hey ASH, great review and I totally agreed with you, yeah I have tried it but that been said I will take nishane suede et saffran or parfums de marly Godolphin over it yep and a good weekend peace ✌️ 🇬🇧
You should check out Black IV from Widian.
Great review and I enjoyed it and I'm going to try it and have a blessed day
Please make a house tour! 😁

The only one I have from this house is Aswan which I bought last week. Would love your inputs on it.
Gotta try Widian scents
Ash please sample Liwa, truly is my fragrance grail, I think you’ll enjoy it 👌

This bottle is so nice it looks like that blue Gucci bottle called a song for the rose
Yeah it really does
What do you think is the best clone of "Widian - London"?
Thanks for sharing!!!!
You should do a list of bottles that feel good in the hand.
:D
Thanks buddy
Can someone say a diffrent to LV Ombre Nomade cuz i want buy this type of fragerence but i dont know maybe it smells the same
Ash could you please review the Al Haramain Amber Oud Exclusif line on this channel. No English speaking reviewers have covered them yet. Thanks
The only one from the brand I've tried. Wonderful blend and quality, but too redundant for me to justify the cost.
The name of the house is also on the cap
This perfume is very well blended and made with quality ingredients. Montale Arabians Tonka is very similar.
Gold 1 Al Wasl and 2 Sahara are great from this house.
I had a decant of it, wore it a couple of times and ended up giving it away. It is really well blended, and yes the opening really is beautiful. But afterwards it becomes something that I see older gents wearing (I'm 26). Also don't like how unnatural the base smells, I can pick up ambroxan and hedion.

"I gave it away"
Sure you did 🙄👌
@@J_M_E_83 no need to be jealous. I got it as a gift, it was a 2ml decant.
With Tuscan Leather, Godolphin, and all the others featuring this DNA on the market, did we really need this?
I'm sorry I could make my self spend the money on some fragrance so small I would pay that much if they gave me alot of it , but I would feel like I got ripped off 285$ with it being so small I would have to be sold on the sent for real.
Day 15 of asking Ash to review Milton Lloyd fragrances
Interesting, im interested in seeing that!!! Do you own any?
@@dukeagainsttheodds3170 My brother owns their 'The Man Cobalt' it's and old vintage Fahrenheit clone and its extremely precise and with the price? just WOW
I sampled this. It’s Tuscan Leather inspired (almost cloneish) and it’s very nice. Widian New York is designer garbage for the cost (so maybe review that one?)
I don't find i to be very similar to Tuscan Leather at all. Strange.
@@Sebbastar really? I got it as a free sample from luckyscent not knowing what it was really about when I added in my order and that was the first thing I noticed when I put it on. Tuscan Leather. I think I preferred it to TL, though. Felt better constructed.
The raspberry in this scent may be better than Tuscan Leader, but is it as good as Montblanc Individuel? 🤣
The fruity Tuscan Leather!!

Please find me a clone of this cologne!!
Too rich for my blood. I’m sure it’s nice. Never smelled Tuscan Leather.
You doing reviews for millionaires now ash.
Many appreciate these, myself included. He reviews TONS of cheaper scents here and on his main channel, though.
