Mmmhhh... I love it
This fragrance accompanies me now over 10 years, longer did this no fragrance before and so I called him a long time as my signature fragrance. If there is a small flaw in Bayres, then it is a the durability, but do not feel this as a drama. The sillage is also secondary for me, since I do not want to fill others anyway. Since this fragrance is supposedly no longer produced, but I must say goodbye to this companion in the near future? No, that was probably a Fake News.

Originally La Martina is an Argentine manufacturer of riding saddles and then later also of sports and casual clothing. He is best known as a jersey supplier of polo teams. Perhaps this also made it obvious to expand the product range to the "scented clothing".
With Bayres, La Martina has succeeded at least there too.

The frequent comparison with TdH lags for me something, perhaps it is remotely reminiscent of him or the years of origin 2006 TdH and 2007 Bayres suggest that? As fragrance twins I would not call them, at most as relatives. Grapefruit, pink pepper, rose geranium, vetiver are the only parallels and both come in citrus-fruity.

Clearly more bulky, spicy and fresh happens with Bayres. Just the delicious spice remains clearer and the leather (HdE includes that at all?) makes itself with the earthy and woody note more and more broad.
It stays that way until the finish. Bayres is simply more dominant, crisp, clear. TdH is certainly also earthy and woody, but has a completely different spice and is from my point of view clearly more tepid or pleasing, but more durable. What connects both scents as well is a composition that remains almost unchanged from start to finish. I like that especially in fragrances, instead of igniting in three stages and thus also smell different.

Bayres is a distinctive, authentic, masculine, noble, sporty and yet classic fragrance.
No fragrance has been able to inspire and capture me for so long. Since the assumption is obvious, he just fit me :-)) ...

What does a rhinoceros do in a coniferous forest? Quite a lot...
Is a rhinoceros heavy? Oh yes, it weighs up to more than 2 tons and it is a wild and unpredictable animal.
Can it be that it just ran through a wooden sauna, right after the eucalyptus infusion and the sauna was in the coniferous forest? Yes, exactly my friend... and if you're not careful, the critter will run right over you.

But if you step aside and let the rhino run wild, it will calm down and show more and more of its true colors. The complex, thick-skinned-leathery animal, but which reacts sensitively if you provoke it.

So, slightly medically it was treated but probably, because it becomes quite quickly calmer.
Wonderful, then I can enjoy the beautiful animal in the wild nature...

The name is appropriate, because the fragrance comes in heavy and at the same time impetuous. Later it becomes much softer and exotic-leathery.
With eyes closed, you could imagine really thick, African leather.
Likewise, it has a fine, complex nature, which liked to combine with spice and resin.

By the force with which the exotic animal runs into the nose, I can well imagine that it divides the spirits and absolutely not for sissies ...
One is fascinated or turns away. Perhaps there is simply no middle with some fragrances.
Also no matter, the rhino runs in any case in the middle.

For me, it is a very special fragrance, in every respect, which is also looking for its equal.
The primal animal now tramples proudly through my modest collection.

Noble "Spaniard" touches the heart
Fragrances are always a matter of taste and they affect each person differently. My first impression of Acqua di Colonia - Peau d'Espagne was very positive. He greeted me spicy, fresh and floral and yes, so a bit of Spain flares up there already. Despite the freshness also resonates something heavy with or better complex...

Just the fact that the fragrance was created in 1901, makes something with me. That this "Spaniard" is still to be had today, speaks clearly for itself. This is really impressive.

After the welcome unfolds with me more and more green-floral, accompanied by a smoky note. So very slowly then also the leather comes through. With the diagram I go unfortunately not d'accord, because leather I feel only as a player in the background. Has for me with leather scents such as TL absolutely nothing to do.

The mixture of fragrance types oriental, green, animalic and floral with smoky and slightly leathery is simply a joy. You should not confuse it with sweet, which is also so not my direction. It never seems to me penetrating or too heavy, but complex, noble and balanced. A round thing that also makes a statement. It is still worth mentioning that resinous is also there and, at least for me, also pulls like a red thread through the Spanish show, as well as the birch. Later I also discover a slightly soapy touch.

Classify I would the fragrance as a men's fragrance, but can very well understand that women also like to wear him.
As I said, he does something with the carrier and I find only beautiful...

News: "Sharp guy is beaten to death by spicy fir"
Ormonde Man... yes, clearly for the man. Exceptionally spicy and fresh bangs one the fragrance around the nose always accompanied by the fir or better fir resin? Each fragrance unfolds as is known individually on the skin of its wearer and of course always does something different. For me, the spicy fir resin smells very dominant and also remains a never-ending story ... While other fragrances partly ignite in three stages, here remains the one note throughout leading.

Spontaneously I had with the smell the image of a fir eucalyptus sauna before the eyes and quite honestly, so also smells a sauna infused with the substance. Always a slight spiciness to it, which still fires the above spiciness and freshness. I assume that the red pepper provides for it.
Slightly fruity also comes through later.

Very strict is the fragrance, fresh and masculine respect-inspiring. Nix unisex, because very determinant.
On the whole, this is a very interesting fragrance with a unique selling point and it will become a little rounder and more pleasing over time.... a little ;-) .

So if you are looking for something strikingly masculine, spicy, fresh and green, which has a strong connection to the forest, you are really well served with a high-quality Ormonde Man. Finally, I recommend applying a maximum of 2-3 spritzes.

The royal leather bomb
Right up front, so that the fragrance-loving minds do not heat up here, C is concentrated power of fragrance components, very complex and well tuned. Thus, he gets from me also the status noble. Fruity, spicy, leathery, smoky and woody are all very present attributes of the royal leather representative. By the complexity (see ingredients) C gets of course also a heaviness. However, it really all fits together and gives the sniffer a benevolent grin and an inner joy...

Tuscan Leather sends its regards. Where we are just with the big brother, also the durability I feel with TL as longer. Both go off ultimately but powdery, with C clearly softer and more balanced reinkommt.

Garnicht I can understand, however, that in the diagram sweet and floral are missing??? Just as and therefore it escapes au...ch my understanding that this fragrance was labeled as masculine. For me, he is clearly unisex, just like TL, Godolphin, ect. ...

With TL together, this fragrance is so far the finest, what I was allowed to smell so at leather-heavy. However, C is also too heavy and especially too sweet for me.
