Bacio Immortale is the second fragrance I’ve tried from the house of Argos, and another let down yet again. This is a blatant copy of Tuscan Leather - which is a scent I find repulsive. The overwhelmingly sweet raspberry alongside that thick, heady leather accord is well known in the fragrance community as a ‘love it or hate it’ combination. For me, I can’t stand it. I appreciate Tuscan Leather is massively popular and a cultural classic, but this is just a basic clone with little to nothing of worth being added. Overall this is a boring, sickly scent which simply isn’t nice in my eyes. If you’re a lover of Tuscan Leather you’ll likely enjoy this, but if that’s the case you might as well just get Tuscan Leather.
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.
