Cuero Homme
Alvarez Gómez Cuero Homme Eau de Parfum 150ml smells of dry wood and worn leather, warm rather than smoky. There is a spiced edge over it and a resinous sweetness beneath, and the whole thing sits in the register of a well-kept leather good rather than anything animalic or raw. The spice is dry, not hot, and the composition is a straightforward one with no attempt at surprise.
Cedarwood and nutmeg make the heart, the cedar dry and pencil-sharp, the nutmeg giving it a warm, slightly dusty spice. Beneath them amber, leather and sandalwood build the body of the scent: amber for a sweet resinous warmth, leather for its central character, sandalwood for a creamy woodiness that rounds the leather's edges. The amber and the leather are the two materials doing most of the work, the cedarwood keeps them from going soft, and the nutmeg gives the wood a faint warmth that reads almost like old paper.
Alvarez Gómez opened as a shop at Calle Sevilla 2 in Madrid in 1899, founded by three men from Leon: Herminio Alvarez Gomez, Berlarmino Gomez and Emilio Vuelta Gomez. The house has produced its Agua de Colonia Concentrada by hand since 1912, and Cuero Homme is one of the fragrances in the range it sells from that Madrid base today.
