Perfecto Fino Eau de Parfum

Many great stories begin when a handsome stranger on a horse visits a small town for the first time. He ain't looking for no trouble. He seeks nothing more than some food and a roof for his overnight stay. But things get complicated and hell follows then!! Deep drydown of this scent reminds exactly what he would smell like on the horse with sun baked leather jacket, saddle with cracks and a cigar. This is very strong animalic leather in the beginning with a blast of styrax. But this raw animalic facet of Perfecto Fino is only in the beginning. From the opening chaos a very beautiful leather slowly emerges. Its beautiful, crisp leather once that fierce opening subsides. This is one of the best leathery drydowns I have seen. If you're into leather scents you are in for a great experience as very high quality ingredients have been blended artistically. I like the artistry behind this fragrance where tobacco supports leather. This fragrance screams quality, boldness and strength. Try it.

Have tried this as a free sample a long while ago and fell in love, this is everything. Reminds me of good memories as a youngster spending time with my grandad, I had to return and get it. Not much I can say besides if you're not buying it you're missing out, the longevity and sillage is crazy, it is an acquired taste, at first it may be quite pungent, grassy and leathery, but it slowly delves into the heart of tobacco and cinnamon. A highly complex fragrance for an articulate gentleman. 10/10 it's a little expensive, but I'd say definitely worth it, do not blind buy, if you're looking for something sweeter I'd say try Cuba by the same house. Thank you for reading

One of my favorite C&S fragrances! Great scent. The smoky/ woody/ leather/ cinnamon smell is incredible! The full dry down maintains its smell and is long lasting. Very masculine. Great for a chilly fall or winter evening indoors. The very first smell I thought I hated this fragrance, the opening can be pungent; lemon, clove and grass. After a couple mins the grass and clove subsides, and the full dry down starts in 15-20min. The smoke, leather, cinnamon, and wood smell comes through and it’s amazing! Opening: 4/10, dry down: 9.5/10 (Edited 12/30/24)

Stunning creation and overlooked. A Barber shop on fire meets Victorian drawing room with dusty book cases. This isn’t cigarette smoke though, it’s roaring fireplace in the dead of winter in a Victorian manor. A much more wearable Le Labo Patchouli equivalent although layer these two and be prepared to be a Charles Dickens novel stoking the titanic on bonfire night. Stunning and forever in my collection.

Found quite pungent when first sprayed but the dry down is where its at. Reminds me of a leather armchair that's sits beside a wood fed fireplace generating that smoky leather woody vibe

What first came to mind was boadicea complex. This seems more of the dry leather scent than something oriental.

Straight up leather to my nose. If you like Ombre Leather etc. you'll like this but I don't so not for me.

This is one of the most offensive and challanging scents I ́ve smelt by now. Dont want to compare it to BBQ-sauce, but imagine the smokiness from one, and amp it up to the point where it overloads everything. This is not smoothly blended at all. Something unqiue, but unwearable in my opinion. Smells definetly like something from a different century,like pub full of pirates. Not one phase of the fragrance I was able to truly enjoy cause it is quite unpleasant to my nose. Dont blind buy this!!!!

The opening is citrus heavy and fresh for 5 seconds, then it turns into to a very birch heavy smoky green woody labdanum scent with faint spicy facets, imagine the sun is setting and you walk in to after math of a big forest fire where animals(labdanum), woods and greenery were burned to crisp, this perfume smells like that. There is no birch tar listed on the notes but to my nose the birch dominates this scent simillar to some Beaufort London scents.

This stuff's harsh. I had it on a tester card in my pocket at work today. It was so strong, I didn't require PPE. I'm now wearing Hyrax to give my nose a rest. That's how bad I perceived Perfecto Fino to be. When I'm brave I'll try it on skin, see if I can detect any of the subtle cinnamon, woodsy beauty that others describe.
