A subtly enveloping and persistent thought can be described as an obsession. It’s also an accurate way to characterise the response to this fascinating leather fragrance. The hi-def leather note is made even more vivid with frankincense, and rendered as indelible as a tattoo by musk.
Perfumer: Fabrice Pellegrin
All about this fragrance
Vibe check
This is a fragrance for close quarters and focused attention, where its smoky leather can settle into the air without losing its tension. It suits an evening in dark clothing and low light, when the wearer wants a presence that feels deliberate, contained and a little unsettling.
How to wear
Best worn in cool weather, where its smoke, resin and leather can unfold without becoming too dense. One or two sprays are enough: it has above-average longevity and a strong, lingering trail, so a light hand keeps the composition refined while still letting it project.
Who it’s for
For wearers who like leather fragrances with smoke, resin and a dry woody edge, rather than sweet or polished interpretations. It will appeal to those drawn to conceptual, darker niche scents with a tactile, slightly animalic character and strong persistence.

The nose
Fabrice Pellegrin is the nose behind Obsessive Leather, and his work is often marked by a polished, textural style that makes raw materials feel supple rather than blunt. He is known for balancing modern clarity with natural richness, which suits this fragrance’s leather, resin and smoke accord. Pellegrin has built a strong reputation across niche and prestige perfumery for compositions that feel tactile and well-structured, often giving woods, musks and florals a luminous, wearable finish. In Obsessive Leather, that approach helps turn a dark leather theme into something more nuanced: smoky, resinous and persistent rather than merely heavy.
Collaborators
Clinical psychologist Alberto Anselmi helped shape the La Serra Collection’s concept, bringing the psychological framework that defines the line and gives Obsessive Leather its OCD-inspired narrative. His contribution is conceptual rather than olfactory, but it is central to the fragrance’s identity.
Laserra’s story
Laserra, or La Serra, builds its collection around psychological states rather than conventional perfume themes, translating mental-health concepts into scent with an educational, conceptual edge. The house name means “greenhouse” in Italian, suggesting a protected environment where something living can develop under carefully controlled conditions.
Obsessive Leather’s concept
Obsessive Leather was launched in 2023 as part of the La Serra Collection, a line that uses fragrance to explore psychological conditions. Here, the idea of obsessive thought is translated into a leather accord that feels enveloping, persistent and hard to shake, with frankincense and musk reinforcing the impression.
Extra info
The fragrance belongs to the La Serra Collection, where each scent is tied to a psychological concept. Its name and concept are built around the idea of obsessive thought, and the brand presents the leather note as if it were fixed in place like a tattoo.
