Which Should You Buy?
Tuscan Leather is a modern icon, seamlessly merging plush raspberry and saffron with animalic, smoky leather. Not for the timid, it radiates intensity, depth, and unapologetic luxury.
Bitter Soft is Alexandria UK's dupe of Tom Ford's cult Tuscan Leather, chasing the same tart raspberry-over-raw-leather contrast. The dupe's leather reads a touch more suede-soft and less feral than the original's famously animalic hide, and the jasmine-incense heart is thinner.
