Cuoio

This is definitely a clone to Tuscan Leather. An excellent clone, which is pretty much identical (barring a discrepancy in performance). I always liked Tuscan Leather; but I didn't like the scent for the price. I only wanted it for maybe half price. Well, this is a tenth of the price, and I love it. It opens immediately as a fruity-leather scent. Off the bat, you already smell the woody and smoky notes. However, the raspberry seems to be the most prominent note upon a first spray. After just minutes, the strong leather begins to dominate. Sure, there are nuances and fleeting moments of all other listed notes; but leather is the star of the show here. The woody quality which emerges in the late into the dry-down gives this a forest-y type of smell. I mean that in the best way possible. Edit: The presence of thyme is also rather strong, which I had completely forgotten about. This is an amazing fragrance, and I wouldn't miss out on this before it gets even harder to find. Performance is crazy with 12hr+ of longevity and 7-8 hours of strong projection.

This is a very good and decent leather, with fruity and slightly spicy/balsamic notes. I have Tuscan Leather and it has a vibe similar to Tuscan Leather. This is an EDT so longevity is never going to match Tuscan Leather which is a potent EDP. Still for an EDT it is quite a long lasting fragrance with about six to seven hours on me with the same amount of time in terms of sillage and projection which tones down a little after five hours. Quality is excellent and price is a no brainer even if its a blind buy. Mature fragrance so not to be worn by younger folks. Suits people with a strong and mature personality whom has the charisma and confidence to carry it just like Tuscan Leather. Cuoio has a vibe similar to another very good Italian perfume by the house of Monotheme Leather. This perfume can be worn all year round with a slight variation of the time of the day. Try before you buy as it is an animalic fragrance. Very highly recommended given the price and the fact that it is an EDT with good longevity and projection. It is an 8 out of 10.

This is a very nice scent - a real leatherly scent - unfortunately it's hard to get and the prices are going up steadily - probably in a year or two, it will not be on the market anymore - the performance is good to very good - the dry down is very nice - unfortunately I only tested it now with the warm weather and I think this one is a real fall/winter scent -update I tested it now in the fall weather - I do see some of the comparison between Tuscan Leather and this but Pal Zileri Cuoio is more fresh leather other aspects of the smell ( fresh flowers and fruit are more pronounced ) than Tuscan leather which I always compare to the leather smell you would find in an old fashioned shoe shop of my kids days some decades ago - I like this more than Tuscan Leather - a good blind buy - the best in the last weeks - my score 8,5/10 - maybe I should buy the last couple of bottles available - I think it would be a good investment

As a man, you can not go wrong with this one. First time I got a sniff, I thought "what a strange scent". It's a leather, but not the one where you seek first help afterwards. Smooth, non-invasive, distinctly masculine, yet a little sweet and yes, I get a bit of jasmine from that. If you tell me that I smell like a raspberry, I'll say it's a bit concealed, but definitely there and well-combined with the woody notes and leather. I'll gladly say, that I love it and will buy more of it, and I'm not the guy that usually sticks to couple of my old favorites. This one got noticed.

Jimmy01 is spot on with his short but to the point review. It's a little sweeter compared to TL and the projection and longevity is not as huge as TL, which is imo a good thing as TL is a bit too much. This is still above average regarding projection and it lasts all day! Excellent luxurious stuff being 8x cheaper than TL! Thumbs up and recommended! Rating: 8.5/10
