Which Should You Buy?
This one's a divisive leather scent. Don't expect a Tuscan Leather clone - this is its own beast. Some will find it a compelling, interesting wear; others will be scrubbing it off immediately. Definitely sample before you buy.
This is a seriously polarising scent - some find it an absolute masterpiece, others say it’ll drive you to jump off a bridge. It’s got a strong presence, so sampling is essential unless you fancy a dramatic gamble.

Season and Occasion Fit
Seasons
Occasions
Given its strong leather and animalic accords, Inara Black is a bit too bold for a typical office environment. It shines brighter on dates or formal events, where its unique character can truly be appreciated. While some reviewers found its projection weaker, the scent profile itself is geared towards evening wear.
Seasons
A winter perfume through and through - made for cold, dark months.
Occasions
Given its strong projection and exceptional longevity, Raffaello is too assertive for office wear. Its complex, sophisticated nature and the general impression of 'regal' or 'well-dressed' align it better with formal events and confident date nights, while being a bit much for casual sports.
