Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Italian Leather
Italian Leather is a divisive beast, but a masterful one. It's eccentric, unique, and for those who 'get' it, deeply alluring. The tomato leaf note is a deal-breaker for some, a signature for others.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Rome
A modern, sophisticated leather that stands out from the crowd with an earthy green twist. While some find the opening a bit rough, its unique character makes it a strong contender for a signature scent.

Season and Occasion Fit

Italian Leather

Seasons

Best For:
Autumn Winter
Also Works:
Spring

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Formal
Also Works:
Casual

Its strong projection and unique, potentially polarising, tomato leaf note make it less suitable for a confined office. However, its sophisticated and sensual character, combined with excellent longevity, makes it a prime candidate for dates and evening formal events. It's a bit too rich for casual daily wear, as many mentioned it's not a 'daily driver'.

Rome

Seasons

Best For:
Spring Autumn Winter

A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Occasions

Best For:
Date Casual
Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection and smooth dry down make it versatile enough for daily wear, though its unique leather-vanilla-tomato leaf profile shines best in casual or date settings. While long lasting, its slightly sweet and prominent leather might be a bit much for very formal or high-energy sporting events.
