About the Product

Dana introduced English Leather in 1949, and the cologne has remained a classic. It is warm, bold, nostalgic and decidedly masculine.

Fragrance Family:

Aromatic

Scent Type:

Woody, citrus, intense

Notes:

Tangy citrus notes create English Leather's first impression, introducing the cologne with sharp freshness. As the scent matures, the signature leather heart note softens the opening accords, mingling with vetiver and oakmoss. Finally, the woody base notes take over and create a warm foundation for this timeless product.

Suggested Use

For long-lasting fragrance that you can carry throughout the day and to minimize the need for reapplying, focus on your pulse points behind your ears, at the base of your neck and on your wrists as well as warmer areas of the body, such as behind the knees and inside the elbow. These are the best places to apply your fragrance since the scent intensifies by the warmth of your body.

FAQ

What does Dana English Leather Cologne smell like?

Dana English Leather Cologne is the fragrance of the classic man. Whether he sports a three-piece suit, cowboy hat and chaps, or a T-shirt and shorts, the bold scent punctuates his style. English Leather is warm and personable — yet fearless and intriguing.

What kind of scent is Dana English Leather Cologne?

Dana English Leather is an aromatic woody citrus splash-on cologne. It was created for men.

What are the notes in Dana English Leather Cologne?

  • Top Notes: Italian bergamot, lime
  • Heart Notes: leather, oakmoss, vetiver
  • Base Notes: cedar, musk, sandalwood

What season is Dana English Leather Cologne best for?

This warm, woody scent is reminiscent of campfires, cedar forests and leather jackets — perfect for fall and winter.

Is Dana English Leather Cologne suitable for all occasions?

The lasting sillage of English Leather takes you from day to night. Wear it as a bright, fresh start to your day; as the scent develops, the warm base accords refashion it into an evening scent for cocktails or a dinner date. It's also an excellent choice for a bonfire or traditional holiday gathering.

Can it be worn by both men and women?

This classic fragrance was created for men. However, those who enjoy bright citrus and warm woody accords may like English Leather.

Where do you apply Dana English Leather Cologne?

You can extend the sillage by dabbing it on your pulse points, such as behind the ears and inside the elbows. If you want to soften its projection, dab it on your torso or forearms without rubbing so that you preserve the top notes.

How long does it last?

Those who wear English Leather say it lasts all day, so you can expect this cologne to remain on the skin for six hours or more. You may need to reapply more often in warm weather or if you have oily skin.

Where is the best place to buy Dana English Leather Cologne?

Dana English Leather Cologne can be purchased at major department stores, but FragranceX is a solid option for buying perfumes and colognes online. FragranceX sells authentic, quality fragrances at discount prices, allowing you to save up to 80% off.

Great Gift

Reminisce of modern days kind of perfumery in its incling towards the uni-sex versatility. Beautiful natural notes blended well though an inticing discord is discernible. I apply generously and inhale eagerly.

Unimpressed

Got the 1oz cologne because of all the good reviews. Bad choice, should've tried out a sample vial first. The leathery smell to it vanishes in a matter of seconds and leaves behind a very powderish common air to it.

Love the fragrance of the after shave

My husband wore this after shave ever since I met him in 1988. Unfortunately he died and I don't have any of it left so I'm buying this for the memories. Too bad it's double the price since I bought it the last time. And I can't find it in the usual stores. Hope it smells similar to the original.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

No, it is nothing like the original. It barely has the Old E

This product is nothing like the original English Leather that I have been using for over 50 years. Doesn't smell anything like the original and very weak, does not last very long. I hate to say it, but I guess I will have to look for another cologne. I used to use the All Purpose Lotion, it was great, but Dana quit making itl.

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Wear English Leather or Wear Nothing at all

This is the fragrance worn by Norman in the Stephen King novel "Rose Madder". In this novel, the writer actually perpetuated the advertising slogan "Wear English Leather or Wear Nothing at all!" "Anna paused with one hand on the study doorknob, looking into the dark room which had been a pantry when she was a little girl. Her nostrils flared slightly and the frown on her face deepened. There was a smell, all right, but it wasn't quite perfume. It was something that reminded her of the Mad Marxist. It was ... All my men wear English Leather or they wear nothing at all. Jesus! Jesus Christ!" Just for that alone should become the owner of this masterpiece.

Bottom Line

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

Gentle fragrance

My grandpa wore this as an aftershave. He gave a bottle to my son when he was five years old. Im happy i could still get this. I ordered one for my two older sons. This is a gentle smell. Its meant to be splashed on a bit and it dries to very light smell. Grandpa was a WW2 vet and my sons thought the world of him when they were little. They knew exactly the sentiment of this cologne. Blast from the past when men were men.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.

English Leather cologne

I've always lover English Leather. Originally I was exposed to the scent in high school but only the kids that well off were able to afford it. My dad used a different scent and would only buy and use it. My first job enabled me to afford purchasing English Leather. Some say the scent has changed over the years. Personally, I think the scent changes as it reacts to you body changes, that's why some believe the formula has changed and not longer smell as when they first used it. Great scent.

This is NOT English Leather!!!

English Leather was my favorite cologne back in college. I even saved an empty bottle just to occasionally take a whiff and relive old memories. What I got in the mail is NOT English Leather, and is not even close. If you're looking for the original scent, don't buy this. It's a total waste of money.

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend to a friend.

Long Time User

I've been using English Leather for over 50 years. As a young man I had very sensitive skin that was irritated by shaving. This product was the only after shave that cooled and "calmed" my skin and took the redness away. I've always liked the scent - not "fruity" like many other products.

Yes, I would recommend to a friend.
