About Tom Ford Tuscan Leather
Tuscan Leather (2007) is a Tom Ford legend — raspberry and leather in perfect tension. Its bold, almost polarizing profile earned a devoted following and made 'fruit + leather' a recognized accord.
The original Tuscan Leather retails for approximately $320 for a 50ml bottle at authorized retailers in 2026. It belongs to the Leather family and is widely considered one of Tom Ford's most influential releases.
