Description
As early as the 16th century, hides were treated with perfumed ointments of jasmine, rose and tuberose to scent gloves worn by ladies and gentlemen at court. Peau d’Espagne, or Spanish Leather, takes this practice as its compositional reference. The Officina formulation opens with Calabrian bergamot, jasmine and carnation flowers, develops through cedarwood, neroli and violet leaf, and closes on civet and birchwood.

Peau D' Espagne Cologne
I think this cologne is good smelling enough to eat! I first get the Hairy leather, followed by the birch and Virginia cedarwood. Very sexy stuff. She will notice it:)

A Classy Fragrance
Please read through the whole thing, because it does get better. When I first tried this fragrance in a SMN brick-and-mortar shop, I wasn't too pleased with the smell. To me it smelled similar to a toilet cleaning solution. It was rather anticlimactic because the reason I went to the store in the first place was because I was excited to try on this scent, but then I ended up getting Alba di Seoul instead. On my way home though, I was sniffing around, and I was smelling a strong and beautiful scent that seemed to be following me, and I realized it was the Peau d'Espagne that I sprayed on my wrist. And a day or two later, I decided to buy it too, and I've been loving it ever since.
Here's what I'm going to tell you. It'll be hard to describe the scent because you can't sniff through letters on a screen. I'll try though. After that "toilet cleaner" phase that lasts about 5 minutes, the scent gets sweeter and, to an extent, spicier. My experience of the scent reminds me of a really classy and sophisticated version of the new-car-smell, or the scent of a good barber shop. It reminds me of a nice aftershave or men's shampoo. But those words won't be of use to you. I'd recommend that you test it in-store and experience it for yourself.
It is a strong fragrance! I normally spray Alba di Seoul five times to get the scent to an intensity I want. When I tried PdE for the first time after purchase, I sprayed it just three times and I already thought I went overboard. I sprayed it on me before I left for work; and when I came home from work today, I still have the scent on me. This fragrance is strong, and a little really does go a long way. I sprayed a tiny amount on my wrist so I can write this review, but I can smell the scent in the air without having to put my wrist close to my nose. It's really that strong.
I highly recommend this fragrance. It's become one of my favorites from this house.
