Agree, but it's more of a sweet, spicy leather scent. Still really nice especially the EdT. As for Cuero Oscuro, I couldn't stand that one. It has a very medicinal dirty band-aid scent to it.  Sick

I like Cuero Oscuro, but it is definitely an in-your-face scent. This isn’t the slick Italian shoe salesman trying to make a sale. This is a toothless cowboy saying “I spilled some black coffee on your leather boots, what are you gonna do about it?”

It’s a wonderful scent, and it appears others who have it feel the same - it’s seldom you ever see anyone willing to part with it.

Cuero Oscuro - another one I love. To me, I get straight-up leather, just like walking into a boot store. But, yeah...it’s a powerhouse.

You might like Nobel Otter Lonestar, it is supposed to smell like a cowboy out on the trail: Lemon, Sage, Magnolia, Texas Cedar, Oakmoss, Leather, Hay. The leather is not predominate, but it is definitely there.

Ariana and Evans Tertius is primarily Leather, Tobacco & Oud, supported by a hint of Rose & Patchouli.  

Highland Springs Soap Co Eclipse is a complex scent that comes across as Russian Leather:Top notes: Bergamot, Dried Fig, Carnation, Mimosa, Cedarwood & Carnation
Heart Notes: Cocoa, White Rum, Blond Tobacco, Russian Leather, Narcissus, Pink Pepper, Bourbon Geranium & Lavender
Base Notes: Benzoin, Sandalwood, Civet, Oud, Amyris, Citrus & Black Musk

It's sharp and it cuts. I like it...

Yes on WK Cuero Oscuro. Also Project Leather from the same maker though, not as leather forward.
Other two that I find quite good with a leather forward scent is Wickham 1912 Russian Leather which is on the sweeter suede leather side. Still very good. The other is Leather & Smoke from Stone Cottage. It conjures up an image of a leather saddle shop and goods with a blacksmith shop next door with a smoky and gunpowder like aura. Good stuff.....

Flying Hyde was one of my favorite scents ever, I hate that they discontinued it, maybe they will bring it back someday.

Thats one of Shawn Maher / Chatillion Lux 's  early scents.  He originally did collaborations with Scott at DG where Scott would produce the soap in the CL scent and Shawn would do the post shave toners and aftershave but he has now licensed the whole shaving lineup to Declaration Grooming to focus on perfume.

Barrister and Mann have reissued ROAM, pipe tobacco, smoke, leather, herbs, fresh dirt, and grass, in Soft Heart base. I grabbed mine and it will be the first time I try this scent so I can't give you advice. I have read that is not for the faint of heart tho.
