A Name Doesn't Smell
In the previous comments, there was often a display of sympathy or antipathy towards Cristiano Ronaldo. Some like him and therefore his legacy more or less. Others, who don't think he's that great, can hardly relate to the scent either. Not everyone, but many.
Well, I tested Legacy without bias, as I neither think positively nor negatively of Ronaldo. Names don't smell.
For me, Legacy is a spicy, woody, and also sexy all-rounder that can be worn on any occasion. Not too sweet or sticky like some other perfumes in the mainstream category. Legacy is also not intrusive, but it is noticeable. Anyone from the age of 25 and up can wear it. However, I can't imagine Legacy on women.
Because it reflects what I envision as masculine, without any ifs or buts. To be honest, I was positively surprised that this scent is practically a "footballer scent." Just a comparison with the fragrances of David Beckham puts the Portuguese far ahead. Because in my opinion, this perfume has indeed made an effort to please and not just to push the brand "CR7." And the current rating of 7.0 seems fully justified to me.

No Cowboy Saddle, but Gentleman Gloves
In my search for a masculine "leather scent," I came across Aigner "in leather man." Aigner is actually a specialist in leather, so I thought to myself, if not them, then who could encapsulate leather in a fragrance?
Although it seems to be no longer produced, it was not a big problem to get the EdT, and the price tempted me into a blind buy. I was not disappointed.
Admittedly, "in leather man" is not Tuscan Leather; it lacks fundamental scent notes, such as the berry nuances of the Tom Ford highlight. And Aigner is not as "strong" as the American.
In leather reflects, in contrast to Ford's leather hammer, rather a quiet, introspective aroma. While Tuscan leather swings right into the new cowboy saddle after a brief raspberry opening, Aigner starts off fresher, slightly lemony. Only after a few minutes does the southern fruit settle, and slowly, quietly, the leather of the "Gentleman Gloves" advances. Never strong, never loud, but always present.
As already mentioned in previous comments, Aigner in Leather is very close to the skin. But that is exactly what I like.
Undeniably, Tuscan Leather is great, although I find the hype, especially the price of the Ford fragrance, very exaggerated.
Personally, I have found my peace in terms of "leather." The "leather gloves" just fit me like they were tailor-made.

The Past Awoke
Recently, I had the pleasure of testing One Man Show. A bit hesitantly, I sprayed it on my forearm, held my nose...
No other fragrance before has catapulted me so intensely into my past. Images of my training period, logically connected to my instructor, who, I’m not entirely sure, owned this scent or at least a very similar one. That was over thirty years ago.
My mentor, with whom I got along really well, was a man like John Wayne. Over six feet tall, weighing a good hundred kilos, and the embodiment of calm. And this scent suited him like a glove. He was the boss, the leader, the one in charge.
Sometimes I wanted to smell like him. I... not even fifteen.
This ruggedness, this masculinity... Just a cowboy scent. Cattle, campfire, Marlboro.
Now, after three decades, I am ready to wear this fragrance. Well, I’m not nearly 100 kg and I don’t have the laid-back John Wayne swagger, but OMS matches my idea of a men’s fragrance.

Who is an A*men
I have thought long and hard about whether I should write a comment about Thierry Mugler's A*men.
In a drawer lay a sample that I initially didn't dare to try after reading some comments here on Parfumo. But my curiosity won out, and I took a couple of sprays.
My first reaction was silence… then slight gasping… more silence…
There is nothing, absolutely nothing against unisex fragrances. Women and men can wear these scents depending on their taste. It is also perfectly fine if the bottle says pour Homme or for men and this fragrance is used by both women and men, as it would suit both genders. And in most cases, it does.
However, with A*men, I find it very difficult to categorize.
For me, it is not a men's fragrance. Too sweet, too heavy, and somehow too caramel-like and honeyed.
For women, well, it also takes a bit of courage to wear A*men.
I thought about which woman or man could wear this elusive fragrance for me. Who is an A*men (woman)?
Men like Jason Statham, Harrison Ford, or Ron Perlman (Sons of Anarchy) would definitely not be suitable representatives in my eyes. If anything, maybe a kind of Bobby Ewing (Dallas, man that was ages ago) or singer Ed Sheeran. After some thought, Sharon Stone came to mind for the women.
Certainly, and the comments and ratings show this, there are many lovers of A*men, and thankfully it is up to each individual whether and what perfume they wear.
For me, I wear scents that I can identify with.
And Mugler simply does not fit me at all.

In the Champions League of Fragrances
I often like to draw comparisons with things that almost everyone can imagine. Everyone can picture a starry night, a golden wheat field, or a demonstration against neglected Tibetan yaks. Depending on one's imagination, of course.
With fragrances, it's more challenging. Tastes are so different, and especially on the skin, every perfume develops differently.
However, there are indeed fragrances, as various reviews here on Parfumo show, that appeal to many. I will simply call these fragrances "Perfumes in the Champions League."
One that undoubtedly belongs to this category for me is La Yuquawam pour Homme.
The "Irresistible," whose similarity to Tom Ford's "Tuscan Leather" is undeniable, has been enriching my collection for some time now.
At first, I was not convinced at all, let alone enthusiastic. It took some time to get used to the raspberry opening. This note doesn’t shake off quickly. It accompanies the wearer for a while, until, yes, until the leather unfolds. Not vulgar, worn-out old leather. It’s almost as if you are standing in an expensive boutique, about to choose a ridiculously expensive leather jacket. It smells of nobility. The smokiness also adds a certain mysterious allure to the wearer.
La Yuquawam has fully convinced me, and I no longer want to be without it.
A fragrance that deserves its place in the "Premier League." Perhaps not in the final match, but still among the better of the best.
The bottle also comes elegantly presented. In a wooden box that elicits a small "Wow" upon unpacking.
When comparing the price to Tuscan Leather, one can confidently say that it doesn't always have to be Tom Ford.
