Agua de Perfume Cuero
Leather is the centre of Alvarez Gómez Agua de Perfume Cuero Eau de Parfum 30ml, and it is a soft, warm leather rather than a tarry one. Dry wood sits around it and a nutty spice runs over the top, so the scent reads as polished and quiet, close to the smell of a leather jacket kept indoors. The spice over the top is dry rather than hot, and the whole thing is a compact composition of five materials with no clutter in it.
The heart is cedarwood and nutmeg, cedar giving a sharp dry woodiness and nutmeg a warm dusty spice over it. The base pairs leather with amber and sandalwood, the amber adding resinous sweetness, the sandalwood a creamy softness that keeps the leather supple rather than harsh. The cedarwood is what keeps the base from going soft, the nutmeg stops the amber reading as simply sweet, and taken together the materials make one continuous impression of leather and wood rather than a sequence.
Alvarez Gómez was founded in 1899 in Madrid, when Herminio Alvarez Gomez, Berlarmino Gomez and Emilio Vuelta Gomez, three men from Leon, opened a shop at Calle Sevilla 2. Its Agua de Colonia Concentrada has been made by hand since 1912.
