Description
Matiere Premiere's Falcon Leather Hair Perfume offers a sophisticated way to scent your hair with the brand's iconic leather accord. It opens with a distinctive blend of saffron and cistus labdanum, immediately setting a warm and inviting tone. As it develops, the heart reveals the smoky depth of birch tar, evoking the rich, supple texture of fine leather. The fragrance then settles into a smooth, resinous base of benzoin absolute, providing a lasting, elegant trail that is both powerful and refined, designed to be kind to hair. Perfumer: Aurélien Guichard

Reviews
Community Insights
Reviewers appreciate this hair perfume for its ability to impart the distinctive Falcon Leather scent in a lighter, hair-friendly format. Many find it an excellent complement to the EDP or a subtle standalone fragrance for daily wear, noting its elegant and refined character.
Pros
Hair-friendly formula: Enriched with natural, nourishing active ingredients that leave hair shiny and supple, with a reduced alcohol content for ultra-thin diffusion.
Versatile scenting: Works beautifully as a subtle, long-lasting standalone fragrance or as an ideal supplement to the matching Falcon Leather Eau de Parfum.
Quality composition: The blend is often described as a powerful, smooth, and supple leather, with a smoky, spicy, and sexy amber character that feels natural and well-blended.
Cons
Subtler projection: While long-lasting, the hair mist is designed for a more intimate scent experience, meaning it won't project as strongly as an EDP.
Limited size options: Only a couple of sizes are typically available, which might limit choices for those seeking smaller travel sizes or larger value bottles.
Comparisons
Similar to Falcon Leather Eau de Parfum: Offers a lighter, more diffused version of the original fragrance, making it suitable for hair.
Reminds reviewers of a creamy, slightly smoky suede: The leather accord is often perceived as smooth and sophisticated rather than raw or animalic.
Vibe & Emotions
Chic and sophisticated: Evokes a sense of elegance and refined taste, perfect for those who appreciate a polished presentation.
Confident and alluring: The powerful leather and amber notes contribute to a bold yet sensual aura.
Comforting and warm: The balsamic and resinous drydown creates a cozy and inviting feeling.
