I've discovered La Martina as a brand 3 months ago, sometimes I feel a bit disappointed, since I didn't have this Hobby 1 year ago , and now have to discover all kinds of niche Brands, or others etc...
However talking about the fragrance itself is more appropriate in the review section.

It states on the linguee Website, that Cuero translates to Leather.. Well is there any leather in this fragrance?

Cuero starts off spicy and citrusy, in the top notes you'll get a note like leather, like sweet spicy leather. After a while the citrus notes are disappearing, and there comes this incense like note, which definitely is Styrax. It stays spicy, vanilla comes more into Play, and the mixture of vanilla and Styrax is really enjoyable. In a few words the base and heart notes are more appealing than the top notes.


The sillage and longevity are average, still it's a good fragrance.

I had bought Otto Kern Commitment Man in 2014, at that time I was much less experienced than today, but it was not a blind purchase, because I had liked the fragrance. I've had it in my collection ever since, but it'll soon be empty.

In my opinion, Commitment Man actually has a lot of potential from the fragrance buildup, but the shelf life, as well as Sillage are flawed.
The first time you spray it on you will notice gin tonic, and citric notes are also present. Later, spices and sweet woods displace the citric notes.

Of course, you have to cross your arm with your nose in order to perceive something.
In terms of performance, it is definitely not worth the money...

It's summer, some breeze is helping you out with the heat, and with the breeze comes the beautiful and natural scent of lemons. You breath deeply in and out. Some leaves and green in the background.

That was a well spent afternoon with Tom Ford

The Opening is green, and fresh, but not grassy like. The scent is more like leaves after a rain, or a cool stream in the forest. It definitely smells natural. You'll be able to get the Opening notes for a while, About 20 minutes, then the heart notes come in with the Violet leaf very present. Unfortunately I wasn't able to wait for the drydown. Green Irish Tweed is a green herbal fragrance very mature and sophisticated in my opinion.

Some People claim that this smells exactly like Cool Water.. This is not the case both are different fragrances, with GIT the much better one. Don't believe myths, try it out yourself, and you'll see the difference.

All in all a great fragrance, and on my wishlist.

Definitely one of the best fragrances in my collection. I don't want to talk around the bush, and I'll get to the point right away.
At the first spray, one turns away, because the heavy woody spicy notes bite in the nose. Over time, however, Black Aoud develops into something very elegant, calming and balsamic. This fragrance is oriental, but not conspicuously oriental.
I can personally perceive Oud, but it is not as present as the rose, but both are very balanced and therefore the fragrance is also quite mysterious and elegant.
The individual fragrances are well selected, as is the quality of the oils.
A short experience from me:
I put 2 sprayers on my left arm this morning, but I had to go out and swim in the meantime. Of course Black Oud is still very present, the little splashing and showering didn't bother the mysterious gentleman :)

Definitely a buy tip, but test before announced...
