Which Should You Buy?
Black Gold is a divisive one. You'll either get an incredibly luxurious, clean, and masculine lavender-leather dream, or a headache-inducing floral soap that reminds you of your nan. Definitely try before you buy, as personal chemistry truly dictates the experience.
This is a seriously polarising leather beast. Some say it's a dead ringer for Ombre Leather, others say it's a hot mess. Expect a powerful, somewhat rough-around-the-edges leather floral that demands attention, but be prepared for some sniffers to recoil. A true budget banger for those who love bold leather.
