Bacio Immortale

This is such a great leather-fragrance. You don't get this boring farty-leather, because the fruity notes like bergamot, lemon and raspberry adds so much liveliness and freshness to the scent. The same should be said for the birch which is doing a very good job of supporting the leather leather both in body and mid. It's a leather-heavy scent and Argos knows this, so they've added a lot of notes that complement and support the leather, so it doesn't end up like a linear leather. To compare it to something people know, I'd say this is a bit more lively and bright than Tuscan Leather. If Tuscan Leather was a glass of Ardbeg in a cigar lounge, Bacio Immortale is that same cigar lounge but with a zesty cocktail. Both a great choices for a night out, but they carry different expressions. Bacio Immortale is a lot brighter without losing any of the depth of the leather. Absolutely great fragrance if you love leather . As much as I love the opening, the dry-down is what's really interesting to me, as the dry birch is mixing with citrus fruits, florals and it just has this "dry but juicy" feel to it, like when biting into a wedge of mandarin - dry on the outside but then bursting with a fresh juiciness. I personally, if I had a friend who would like to delve into what leather fragrances is, I'd start by introducing them to something similar to this. Notes listed on here are wrong, it should be as follows Top notes: - bergamot - lemon - pepper - raspberry Heart notes: - violet - jasmine - leather - pink peppercorn Base notes: - musk - leather - oud - birch - vanilla

I'm still a pretty new frag head; I just got into this hobby a couple months ago or so. I saw Argos Fall of Phaeton in an Eau de Jarino YouTube video, and was impressed with the bottle. I looked up their website, and ordered the sample pack. I went through the sample pack and tried them, and Bacio Immortale was my favorite one, so that's the one that I've ordered a full bottle so far. I know now that Bacio Immortale is almost identical to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather, but I didn't know that at the time. I've sampled Tuscan Leather since then, and I do think they are almost the same. That doesn't take anything away from Bacio Immortale for me, since Tuscan Leather is way more expensive. The main scents that I notice in Bacio Immortale are sweet, tart raspberry, rich leather and pink peppercorn and some oud. The name, Bacio Immortale means "Immortal Kiss" and the nice box has a whole story about how it's inspired by the myth of Cupid. The bottle is gorgeous, and I just love the scent. It's summer here, and pretty hot, but I work in an air conditioned office, so I've been layering it with lighter summer fragrances like Jean Paul Gaultier Le Beau Paradise Garden or Louis Vuitton Pacific Chill, and sometimes adding a spray of something feminine, like Louis Vuitton Attrape-Reves. I think it really makes the more masculine fragrances pop.

Recently obtained a sample and it reminds me of Frapin's Checkmate in the dry down. The floral (prominent violet - but more like a powdery iris and not too sweet), fresh woods and delicate leather are beautifully blended. I would not describe this as a heavy leather or tar like fragrance at all - it's more a floral-wood, and more traditionally 'masculine' leaning. Also i'm getting a dry, stone-like 'mineral quality'... definitely a bit more going on here than the notes imply. Although the initial projection was weaker than others from the house (i have the sample pack) - it's longevity is very good and keeps rising and floating.

Was never huge into leather fragrances, but I got the Argos sample pack after I already found out what Trihmph of Bacchus Extrait was and when I smelled Bacio Imortale, I immediately said, WOW. (Same thing with Fall of Phateon, Danae and sacred flame) but this was different. Something I haven’t experienced before a pleasing, sweetness with leather a note I previously did not like. But this. A truly creatively balanced and well blended fragrance. This one is fantastic for events, formal or casual or a dates with the miss(es).

I mean yeah the Tuscan Leather comparison is certainly there but it is not a 1 to 1 at all. Tuscan Leather to me was always a very dark leather scent and the raspberry note was barely noticeable like a very very faint sweet note to the dry pungent leather, but Bacio has a VERY noticeable and strong berry opening that persists for a good or so before then fading to a Tuscan-esc leather. Personally I think Bacio is a more interesting, similar performing, and actually cheaper scent if you look more than a minute. Not bad

This is a comment from after the reformulation, right off the bat this is one of those that heavily changes depending on different skins. For me this is a raspberry leather with slight smokiness. The rest only comes out after the dry down and it is very faint. This also leans more fresh, but more so a colder season freshy so I’d wear this after new years to later spring. Performance is good and projection is good, nothing nuclear but good enough

Ok this was not love at first sniff I believe I was a little disappointed at the opening, the Raspberry was kinda off putting so I let it sit for some days then its like the mix finally came together or at least the raspberry finally became ripe lol because now IM IN LOVE and its so addicting I cant get enough and surprisingly it layers extremely well with other frags. I love when my disappointment turns into Excitement

I’m seeing comparisons to Tom Ford Tuscan Leather But I don’t smell that all ! This has a Very rich Oud and Birch notes Very masculine Don’t let the Unisex throw you off It is very masculine Great for cold weather Highly recommend

This is heaven in a bottle. The quality is just unsurpassed. It's quite fruity and floral. I do not see the comparison to Tuscan Leather, at all. It's expensive but smells much more expensive than it is.

my second favorite i got only 2 samples of this , will purchase the big bottle soon , amazing soft oud fragrance that women can wear .

Veeery similar DNA to Tuscan leather, Godolphin, ...

If you like leather fragrances, you’ll love this

This is one my most complimented fragrances

So much better than Godolphin Bacio Immortale is yet another fragrance inspired by Tuscan Leather and it does a good job at replicating it with a slight twist. During the opening the citruses are pretty noticeable and, paired with the raspberry note, they give me a lemon popsicle kind of vibe. I'm nose blind to this scent because its sillage was extremely light from the moment I put it on, but my mom told me it wasn't at all and that she could smell it clearly coming off me. All this to say the popsicle vibe I get during the opening might not be a thing others pick up on. After about an hour and a half the citruses are completely gone and you're left with the classic raspberry and leather combo from Tuscan Leather's DNA. Bacio Immortale leans into the raspberry more than the Tom Ford, but it's undoubtedly in the same vein. There's also a slight woodiness here that's missing in Tuscan Leather, or at least I don't remember smelling in the Tom Ford. Overall a great dupe of Tuscan Leather and certainly miles ahead of Godolphin and its burning weed skin scent. Performance is good overall. Projection is moderate, sillage was very light to me as I explained, but I could still catch whiffs of this for several hours without a problem. Longevity is great as it has reached 8 hours on skin without a problem. I'll give this another test in about a week or so to rule out nose blindness from trying multiple Argos back to back or to see if I'm naturally nose blind to Bacio Immortale specifically.

Perhaps I'm missing something here but this perfume is not a direct clone of Tuscan Leather. To look at the notes in my carded sample, you'd think it was and then coming here and seeing swathes of smells likes, I'm just not feeling that way. The fundemntal things which make tuscan leather are in fact a sort of rough sawn woody, sandalwood base which this simply doesn't possess. Some fleeting association this does have a rspberry note (if you must) a leather accord of sorts and a dry, smoked birch airy ambrox effect effect but the metallic spikes and sour citrus give this a whole different dimension. This has more incommon with Aventus than it does Tuscan leather. To be honest it reminds me much more of a Xerjoff (name escapes me) a Memo (name escapes me.... albeit something leather.... not that that would narrow it down...lol) and finally one I can actually name Rasai Ambergris Showers. I didn't hate this either but it felt a little more redundant as if chasing hints of hit perfumes here and there but ultimately coming out with something different but still derivative feeling. It's alright.

I adore this. Got a new bottle recently and found it very raspberry forward and floral. It dries down to a more balanced, musky leather, but on some people may be a bit sweet. As a man I do wish the raspberry wasn’t quite so strong, but the pink pepper, oud, and leather do a wonderful job of keeping it from being overtly feminine. Definitely unisex imo. Great lasting power on the skin, sillage will taper down around the three hour mark. The bergamot is such a nice addition to the raspberry, and the scent is balanced enough to make this appropriate for a date, office, daily wear, etc. You will have no complaints about this. No one is going to smell you from across the room, but people that come close by will ask what I’m wearing which is nice. This is my husband’s favorite on me.

First of all, this bottle is overpriced. It costs more than it should, but I can say the same about Creed and most fragrance houses. This is not a defense of the price, just an observation. I really like this fragrance, and aside from the price there isn't much I can knock. It's got a very effervescent quality with citruses that are very well balanced with a darker oud and leather vibe. It isn't offensively done either way, and it lends itself to being something daring without being annoyingly so. It's not overly loud as well, but does last a good amount of time. I wouldn't say it's really close to Tuscan leather, I do enjoy that fragrance, but I find this to have a different vibe to it. It's certainly enjoyable, and if you have the cash I would pick it up or sample it.

A birchtar-leather fragrance balanced between the sweet, sparkling raspberry/citrus and a bit of the darker quality of soft oud. This is something that doesn't feel too unique, but it certainly is classy and extremely pleasant. I would say that this is fairly unisex due to the inclusion of brighter raspberry, jasmine, and iris notes, but still has a slight masculine lean overall. If it seems up your alley, get samples of it and other perfumes that are similar to it as you might find one meeting these same qualia but at a fraction of the cost. 8.5/10

A more fruity/floral version of Tuscan Leather. It reminds me of Oud Saphir as well. It's nice, I like it a lot and longevity is great on me but like Triumph of Bacchus, it lacks originality for the price. If on budget, I'd go with La Yuqawam pour homme. The bottle is even nicer and less gimmicky for a quarter of the price. If money is not a problem and TL is nice but too harsh for you then it's a very good option. A better option than Oud Saphir since Bacio Immortale has better longevity. My favorite from this house ⭐⭐⭐⭐ out of 5

First off I'll address the Ombre Leather dupe, having smelt both of these with a couple of hours of each other I can testify to the similarity of DNA but there's one I'd wear & one that I wouldn't go anywhere near! Ol is too much Leather for me whereas I'd say BI was more sweet with a hint of leather & much more to my tastes. If I was given this I wouldn't be disappointed but I also wouldn't run out & buy it, too many fragrances in front of it but there really is nothing in my collection that smells like this.
