Alejandro Acosta · 2024

Green · Spicy · Woody

Alejandro Acosta Dark Souls is a dark, animalic unisex fragrance built around Indian oud, Cambodian oud, leather and castoreum, best suited to fall and winter evenings. Oud, leather, civet and castoreum form a heavy, smoky, leathery core. Sri Lankan and Haitian vetiver and Java patchouli give it an earthy base, while Texas cedar, gaiac wood and cypriol push the woody, spicy side. Gingko adds a green touch. Most voters pick fall and winter, with evening and night out leading the occasions. Longevity is rated strong and sillage good. Jousset Parfums Griffe de Crocodile and Pryn Parfum Aranyaka have a close profile.

La Candelaria

9.2

Alejandro Acosta

Floral · Green · Fruity

Alejandro Acosta La Candelaria is a fruity, sweet unisex scent in which mango, guava and cinnamon come to the front together. Its longevity and sillage are both rated good, though the ratings rest on few votes. Voters pick it most for daily wear and leisure, and also suggest it for evenings and nights out. Being unisex, it suits both men and women. The scent reads as one piece: the fruity sweetness of mango and guava is lightened by lime, while cinnamon and milk coffee add a warm, creamy body. Palo Santo and Virginia cedar lay a woody base, and white blossoms and ginkgo fruit carry the floral and green touches.

Tobacco Macaco

8.5

Alejandro Acosta

Sweet · Woody · Oriental

Alejandro Acosta Tobacco Macaco is a sweet, smoky unisex fragrance built around tobacco absolute, Bourbon vanilla and rum. The scent reads as one piece: tobacco absolute and rum soften into sweet vanilla, while Sumatran benzoin and opoponax add a resinous warmth. Sandalwood and gaiac wood lay down a woody base, and tonka bean deepens the creamy side. Juniper berry and neroli stay in the background of the heavy sweetness. The oriental character is clear, and it suits those who like sweet, smoky scents. Xerjoff Amber Star and The Dua Brand Dua's Amber have a close profile.
