Which Should You Buy?

Our Verdict - Promise EDP
Promise is a divisive, beast-mode rose and apple combo with an earthy, animalic kick that splits opinion. You'll either adore its bold, luxurious depth or find it overwhelmingly harsh and challenging.
Acquired
Our Verdict - Oriental Leather EDP
Oriental Leather is Alexandria UK's dupe of Dior's Oud Ispahan, aiming for the same jammy rose-and-oud pairing. It swaps Dior's raspberry-tinted, tightly blended rose for a sweeter and simpler fruit-rose accord, and the oud-patchouli base is thinner and fades faster, but the rose-oud identity is clearly recognisable at a fraction of the price.

Promise is a powerful scent with immense longevity and sillage, making it far too overwhelming for office environments but perfect for special occasions. Its luxurious, complex profile and beastly performance suit formal events and colder weather dates where it can truly shine.
