Green and balsámic leather
Salamanca has been a complete surprise. Seeing the notes didn't really appeal to me much, but I decided to try it based on a couple of reviews I saw and...voila! Finally I ended up going for a whole bottle, and that when I smelled the perfume directly from the sample it seemed horrible to me!
Salamanca is, therefore, a beast perfumon! It is based on leather, which remains as the central note, giving the perfume power and great longevity. On the other hand, we find hay and vetiver in large doses that give it a green and earthy touch, and a very interesting balsamic and smoky part in the background. Immortelle is also detectable, giving it a dry floral touch that gives it a different hue than other green perfumes. Finally, the algae, an unexpected note that gives the fragrance a certain marine touch, albeit without any kind of fresh, oceanic, aqueous or ozonicom nuance; it simply has a slight hint of a sea smell.
The performance is incredible. For the whole day and if you don't shower part of the next. In clothes it is eternal
I find it a perfume to wear more during the day with moderate to cool temperatures.
Totally unisex.

Rustic ancient leathery experience
This is definitely, as you could imagine, an eccentric perfume. I will classify it as a vetiver - leather. Of course at first this is a blast of an ancient and strong leather with woods mixed with a realistic and really original note of clay, that is the first time I smelled in a fragrance and can assure that note is incredible. I am from Spain and this remembers me a lot of places that I visited in my life, specially rustic houses or something ancient and the nature and typical towns, like Salamanca, sure. This could be the smell of "Máximo" in gladiator film; you can smell the leather, the earth, the stones of Coliseum. At the beginning is an amazing leathery experience that makes you think you can wear as a new, original and classy leather, but in the drydown a too much acid vetiver note takes importance and dominates the whole leathery chord. This changes my perception of the fragrance. This fragrance could have been an incredible dark leather with a rustic classy vibe, but the drydown has a totally different intention taking the way of a dirty greenish acid vetiver that personally I don´t like. Interesting fragrance anyway, and perfectly executed with a good balance and no edges. Need to mention of course the shy and far floral notes in the background that creates a echo of sweetness, but always an echo in the background, you never feel any floral domination.

Initially thick and earthy smoky-leathery, a rather dry and dusty, gently leathery, earthy-floral fragrance, on a green earthy-woody base.

A bold, pungent and truly dry leather masterpiece with strong nuances of clay, vetiver and mitti. Stoic and melancholic. A real treat.
