What does Cuero de Mexico / Mexican Leather smell like?
Orange sits on top, with tuberose and jacaranda adding a soft floral heart. The base is led by leather, Brazilian rosewood and myrrh, giving the scent a spicy, woody and resinous footing. Chypre and oriental accents run through that smoky character.
Longevity and sillage are rated moderate. Most voters pick autumn and winter, though summer and spring also get votes. It leans towards leisure and daily wear. Votes split almost evenly between feminine and masculine, and some voters call it classic. Faizal Privée The Souk and Penhaligon's Alizarin have a close profile.
