About this deal
It's a little bitter or sharp in the opening, pushing it near the realm of Gucci Guilty Absolute, however after 15 minutes or so, it softens up, and it wears extremely well overall. Lastly, I think we need to be reminded that, for the most part, when we use the word "clone", we shouldn't be looking for an exact replica of an original scent, but rather a resemblance. I agree with others who have said this sits between Tuscan Leather and Ombre Leather, and you absolutely should pick this up if you enjoy either or both of those scents. Please read the full reviews and consider your own needs and preferences before making a purchasing decision.
It has that amazing leather note that is in Ombre Leather along with some nice fruity sweetness that OL is missing. This could be a nice alternative for the ones who don't like the heavy leather feel of the original, Rare Carbon is safer and easy to wear for sure. Now that I have a couple of months of wearing this fragrance, I believe I can give it a fair review.
This is my first leather frag since I was a kid, back when my dad would give me whatever scraps he had left from his collection.
Rare Carbon starts off with a mix of the smell of alcohol, some indolic florals, and ozonic/citrusy aldehydic musk reminiscent of designer woody-citrus-aquatic offerings.My husband bought this, and although it is a very good fragrance, it is absolutely not a OL dupe (I know this might not be intended to be a dupe).

It's strong on my skin and clothes , you can easily pull 6 hours of good strong projection then recluse to about 1 feet of projection.
