Tocca 007 (Leather Martini) Candle

007 smells like rich, soft leather inside a luxurious car. I imagine myself finely dressed alongside a stunning date on our way to an exquisite event. Tocca 007 offers the most pure, simplistic option for leather. Unfortunately, the martini is lost on me. I find that to sadly be the case with any liquor reference in a candle. The Tocca 007 candle comes across as fine leather, simply done.

My son had this candle a few years back and I insisted that he only burn it when I wasn't around! Something about this scent reminded me of all the scents at an auto-body repair shop. Maybe this was just from it being too much of a masculine based scent but I didn't catch any of the leather notes or the Martini. This was just straight up burning rubber to me. I do not want this one burned around me! Very surprised since I adore Tocca products. This one let me down.

The perfect man scent. Well, it's geared towards being just that. But, did it work 100% for me? Kind of. This is a fragrance for leather lovers. There is also something deeper in the scent that reminds me a bit of a cologne someone I used to know wore a lot. I can't put my finger on what it was though. It's not going to be a candle that fans of floral scents or sweet scents are going to love. This scent was a one time purchase for me, just because I am not a huge "man-scent" lover. If you have a guy you are looking for a gift for and he wants something unisex and non-feminine...give this a try. It's pretty strong. Not my usual cup of tea and I really prefer Havana over this as far as my scent-love for Tocca goes...but still, an interesting concept for a candle and a nice decision to make one geared towards men.
