Colonia Leather Acqua di Parma 2014 Eau de Cologne Concentrée

I have me the fragrance because of the good reviews and the ingredients appealing to me with the help of a nice Parfumos as 10 ml filling can organize.
Upon receipt, I have the tester full of expectation and anticipation of THE great fragrance experience directly times tried and would have almost disposed of him afterwards.
What flowed towards me there, reminded me in the strongest way of the ashtray filled with water my wife, in which she disposes of her cigarettes to not have to express them extra. This smell has in my eyes nothing to do with leather / tobacco , only with cold, damp and stale smoke.
I have to control whether with my olfactory organ everything is in order, several "victims" also make a scent sample, all came to the same result: "What is that supposed to be? Smells like a full ashtray with wet butts ! ".
Not that one would deny the value of the ingredients , or get other doubts about the quality of the fragrance , it just has for my nose - and that of some others - absolutely no smoky leather aroma . I do not know any kind of leather - no matter how old or bacon - that would smell so, even if one would have completed over years regular visits in a smoky pub with it ( yes, such a thing is said to have existed once ;-) )
The "fruity" components , which make up the top note , are , even if you give them a really longer "maturation time" , only to guess at all. What in the Tuscan Leather of TF still actually falls as a component of the overall fragrance in the weight and makes a real contribution to the experience , is here in my eyes ( in my nose ) almost completely lost.
Too bad about the not exactly little money !!!
Since all who the Tom Ford classic is a touch too fruity / feminine , those who want something more real , but subtle smoke aroma , fall back on the Cuoio from the Collezione Privata by Pal Zileri . This one is hard to get, but costs a lot less than the Acqua di Parma, and even more than the TF, which has reached utopian price regions. He can however qualitatively quite keep up with both fragrances, and surpasses the Colonia Leather by far in the smell perception.
I have all three perfumes extensively tested and can for me personally no purchase recommendation for the Wässerchen of Acqua di Parma express.
