Mi Acorde Eres Tú
Presented as a boxed set, the Alejandro Sanz Mi Acorde Eres Tú Eau de Toilette Gift Set is bought as a present more often than not, and the fragrance inside is sweeter and more comfortable than its masculine styling suggests.
Pineapple opens it, tart and juicy and a little sharp, with apple beside it for a crisper sweetness and cardamom cutting across both with a dry aromatic spice. That is a bright and quite modern beginning, over within a quarter of an hour.
The middle is only two materials and it is the better for it. Tonka bean brings a mellow, powdery sweetness, and juniper is the surprise: resinous, cool, faintly bitter, the note associated with gin, and it stops the tonka turning the perfume into a sweet from a tin.
Then it dries out. Suede is soft, dry and slightly dusty rather than smoky, a quiet skin warmth rather than a harsh one, and with amber providing resinous warmth and oakmoss adding a damp, earthy bitterness, the finish is quietly serious. Eight materials in all, with a clear arc from fruit to skin.
Eau de toilette strength puts wear at four or five hours with the suede and moss holding longest. Cooler weather suits it and evenings suit it better than mornings. As a gift it has the advantage of being recognisable without being obvious, and the boxed presentation means there is nothing left to do but hand it over. It suits a wearer in their twenties or thirties rather than a teenager, largely because of the suede and the moss at the end, and it is the kind of scent that gets worn more often than it gets remarked on, which is usually the surest sign that a composition has been well judged.
